Differential Impact of Ergosterol on Yeast Membranes Exposed to Membrane‐Targeting Antimicrobial Compounds

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 10, 27 May 2026.
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]

open access: yes, 1993
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]

open access: yes, 2016
The expression of polyspecific membrane transporters is one important mechanism by which cells can obtain resistance to structurally different antibiotics and cytotoxic agents.

Inactivation Strategies of Clostridium perfringens in Foods: Current Challenges and Emerging Interventions

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
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 ...

Nevertheless, She Resisted – Role of the Environment on Listeria monocytogenes Sensitivity to Nisin Treatment in a Laboratory Cheese Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
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]

open access: yes, 2009
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 AND BREWING [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Institute of Brewing, 1988
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

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
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.

Protein defence systems against the lantibiotic nisin: Function of the immunity protein NisI and the resistance protein NSR

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
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.

Superconducting spin filter

open access: yes, 2003
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 ...
