Biomimetic membranes (liposomes) were prepared from yeast phospholipids with variable concentrations of ergosterol and exposed to antimicrobial compounds. Dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering measured changes in size and ζ‐potential to study their interaction with the antimicrobial compounds.

Structure, Organization, and Expression of the lct Gene for Lacticin 481, a Novel Lantibiotic Produced by Lactococcus lactis [PDF]
The structural gene for the lactococcal lantibiotic lacticin 481 (lct) has been identified and cloned using a degenerated 20-mer DNA oligonucleotide based on the amino-terminal 7 amino acid residues of the purified protein.

Relocation of active site carboxylates in major facilitator superfamily multidrug transporter LmrP reveals plasticity in proton interactions [PDF]
The expression of polyspecific membrane transporters is one important mechanism by which cells can obtain resistance to structurally different antibiotics and cytotoxic agents.

Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...

The growth of Listeria monocytogenes on refrigerated, ready-to-eat food products is a major health and economic concern. The natural antimicrobial nisin targets the bacterial cell wall and can be used to inhibit L. monocytogenes growth on cheese.

Pumping properties of the hybrid single-electron transistor in dissipative environment [PDF]
Pumping characteristics were studied of the hybrid normal-metal/superconductor single-electron transistor embedded in a high-ohmic environment. Two 3 micrometer-long microstrip resistors of CrOx with a sum resistance R=80kOhm were placed adjacent to this

Nisin, an internationally accepted food preservative has been shown to inhibit the growth of almost all Gram-positive beer-spoilage bacteria investigated. The initial effects on these bacteria appear to be upon the cell membrane. Nisin has little effect on most Gram-negative bacteria and has no effect upon the growth and fermentation properties of ...

Nanomaterials in Edible Mushroom Production: Yield Optimization, Biofortification and SDG Alignment
Nanotechnology enhances sustainable mushroom production across pre‐ and post‐harvest stages. Nano‐fertilizers (Zn, Se) and growth stimulants (TiO2, ZnO) improve yield and nutritional quality. Antimicrobial nanoparticles (AgNPs) contribute to effective disease control.

Lantibiotics are potential alternatives to antibiotics because of their broad-range killing spectrum. The producer strain is immune against its own synthesized lantibiotic via the expression of two proteins LanI and LanFEG.

Consider two normal leads coupled to a superconductor; the first lead is biased while the second one and the superconductor are grounded. In general, a finite current $I_2(V_1,0)$ is induced in the grounded lead 2; its magnitude depends on the ...
