Inhibition of -mediated potato soft rot by carboxymethyl cellulose-based antibacterial edible coating containing green tea extract.

Unlabelled: This study was conducted to propose a new strategy for preventing -mediated potato soft rot through the development of a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based antibacterial coating incorporated with green tea extract (GTE). GTE/CMC films resulted in increased water vapor permeability due to the incorporation of polar groups in GTE. In the antibacterial test against , the MBC value of GTE was 2 mg/mL.

Evaluation of the biocontrol potential of a collagen peptide/trehalose-based Cronobacter sakazakii phage powder in rehydrated powdered infant formula.

Cronobacter sakazakii is a major foodborne pathogen that is mainly transmitted through powdered infant formula (PIF) and has a high mortality rate of up to 80%, particularly in fetuses and neonates. Bacteriophages have emerged as an effective biocontrol agent for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, lytic phage SG01 was newly characterized and loaded into collagen peptide/trehalose-based powders to develop an antibacterial agent against C.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Bacillus cereus Temperate Bacteriophage BSG01.

The Bacillus cereus phage BSG01 has a siphovirus morphology that can belong to the order . It consists of 81,366 bp, with a GC content of 34.6%, and contains 70 predicted open reading frames.

Comparison of chitosan and gelatin-based films and application to antimicrobial coatings enriched with grapefruit seed extract for cherry tomato preservation.

Unlabelled: Bio-based single, composite, and bilayer edible films were developed based on chitosan and gelatin, including grapefruit seed extract (GSE) as an antimicrobial agent. The physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of films were analyzed, and it was found that compounding and laminating two polymers could enhance their physicochemical properties. The composite film was strong, endurable, and flexible compared with the single ones.
