Article Synopsis
- Meat provides an ideal environment for foodborne pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica, and Escherichia coli O157:H7, which can lead to serious health issues.
- A study surveyed 100 minced beef samples from different butchers in Erzurum province and used Real-Time PCR for pathogen detection, finding Listeria in 45 samples, E. coli in 30, and Salmonella in 29.
- The Real-Time PCR method showed higher efficiency and reliability compared to traditional techniques, allowing for quicker, more cost-effective, and less labor-intensive detection of these harmful bacteria.
Anoxybacillus: an overview of a versatile genus with recent biotechnological applications.
World J Microbiol Biotechnol
March 2023
Article Synopsis
- The Bacillaceae family, especially the genus Anoxybacillus, is gaining attention for its potential in biotechnological processes due to its ability to produce thermostable enzymes and spore-forming capabilities.
- Anoxybacillus, a relatively new genus since 2000, shows promise in applications like waste management and bioremediation, helping to break down toxic substances in various industrial processes.
- Recent research highlights the diverse Anoxybacillus strains from different environments and their various biotechnological applications, including enzyme production and the creation of bioactive exopolysaccharides with antimicrobial and anticancer properties.
Peptones are one of the most expensive components of microbial culture media. The present study was conducted to test the usability of low-cost sheep wool peptone (SWP) as an organic nitrogen source in the production of six industrially important enzymes (lipase, amylase, tannase, pectinase, cellulase and invertase). SWP was prepared by alkaline hydrolysis and acid neutralization.

- Strain P1, a Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium, was isolated from Pasinler Hot Spring and characterized to determine its taxonomic classification.
- It shares high genetic similarity with known strains R-6488 (97.6%) and MO-04 (97.2%), and forms a unique group in phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences.
- Strain P1 thrives at 55°C and 2% NaCl, contains specific cell-wall components, and is proposed as a new species within the genus, named sp. nov., with type strain P1.
