Saccharina latissima, candy-factory waste, and digestate from full-scale biogas plant as alternative carbohydrate and nutrient sources for lactic acid production [PDF]
Bioresource Technology, Volume 380, 2023, 2023 To substitute petroleum-based materials with bio-based alternatives, microbial fermentation combined with inexpensive biomass is suggested. In this study Saccharina latissima hydrolysate, candy-factory waste, and digestate from full-scale biogas plant were explored as substrates for lactic acid production. The lactic acid bacteria Enterococcus faecium,

Control of magnetic susceptibility of probiotic strain Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The paper investigates the increase in the natural magnetically controlled properties of probiotic microorganisms Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and their ability to form magnetic sensitive inclusions (MsI). The magnetic susceptibility of LGG was increased by modifying the nutrient medium composition and by cultivating the probiotic culture in a ...

Label-free identification of individual bacteria using Fourier transform light scattering [PDF]
, 2015 Rapid identification of bacterial species is crucial in medicine and food hygiene. In order to achieve rapid and label-free identification of bacterial species at the single bacterium level, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an optical method based on Fourier transform light scattering (FTLS) measurements and statistical classification.

Label-free image scanning microscopy for kHz super-resolution imaging and single particle tracking [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We report the modification of a label-free image scanning microscope (ISM) to perform asynchronous 2D imaging at 24kHz while keeping the lateral resolution gain and background rejection of a regular label-free ISM setup. Our method uses a resonant mirror oscillating at 12kHz for one-direction scanning and a chromatic line for instantaneous scanning in ...

Investigation of the Cyprus donkey milk bacterial diversity by 16SrDNA high-throughput sequencing in a Cyprus donkey farm [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The interest in milk originating from donkeys is growing worldwide due to its claimed functional and nutritional properties, especially for sensitive population groups, such as infants with cow milk protein allergy. The current study aimed to assess the microbiological quality of donkey milk produced in a donkey farm in Cyprus using cultured-based and ...

Screening of antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from fermented vegetables against food borne pathogens [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 This study aims to screen the antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from home-made fermented vegetables against common food borne pathogens. The antagonistic properties of these isolates against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica and Bacillus cereus were examined using agar well diffusion method ...

Nanosurgery: Observation of Peptidoglycan Strands in Lactobacillus helveticus Cell Walls [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 The internal cell wall structure of the bacterium Lactobacillus helveticus has been observed in situ in aqueous solution using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The AFM tip was used not only for imaging but presumably to remove mechanically large patches of the outer cell wall after appropriate chemical treatment, which typically leaves the bacteria ...

Derivation of the coefficient squared probability law in quantum mechanics [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 If one assumes there is probability of perception in quantum mechanics, then unitarity dictates that it must have the coefficient squared form, in agreement with experiment.
