Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

Droplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Characterization of the adherence of Clostridium difficile spores: The integrity of the outermost layer affects adherence properties of spores of the epidemic strain R20291 to components of the intestinal mucosa.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
Clostridium difficile is the causative agent of the most frequently reported nosocomial diarrhea worldwide. The high incidence of recurrent infection is the main clinical challenge of C. difficile infections (CDI). Formation of C. difficile spores of the

Improved Incorporation of Arylglycines Into Ramoplanin Sequences via Solid‐Phase Peptide Synthesis

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The incorporation of arylglycines using solid‐phase peptide synthesis remains challenging due to the sensitivity of these residues for epimerization. Here, exploring multiple conditions for the incorporation of arylglycine residues into peptides using SPPS demonstrates how small changes to current synthesis protocols can lead to significant ...

Detection of Bacterial Endospores in Soil by Terbium Fluorescence

International Journal of Microbiology, 2011
Spore formation is a survival mechanism of microorganisms when facing unfavorable environmental conditions resulting in “dormant” states. We investigated the occurrence of bacterial endospores in soils from various locations including grasslands (pasture,

Microbial Interventions in Processing of Plant Based Proteins: Unlocking Extraction Dynamics and Functionality for Human Health

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Fermentation enhances nutritional & techno‐functional properties of plant protein. Three distinct stages of fermentation impact on different aspects of plant protein. Fermentation induces flavors modulation through new organic compounds formation. Plant protein fermentation improves their utility in food applications.

RNA Dynamics in Aging Bacterial Spores [PDF]

Cell, 2012
Upon starvation, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis enters the process of sporulation, lasting several hours and culminating in formation of a spore, the most resilient cell type known. We show that a few days following sporulation, the RNA profile of spores is highly dynamic.

Investigating germination and outgrowth of bacterial spores at several scales

, 2017
Background Spore-forming bacteria are a major cause of food spoilage and food poisoning. Spores that resist physical and chemical treatments used in the food industry may germinate and multiply.

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.
