Health risk associated with pesticide residues in vegetables from Incheon region of Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate the pesticide residue concentrations and assess potential human health risks from vegetable consumption in Incheon. A total of 960 samples were collected from the Incheon areas of Korea in 2019. The pesticide residues were analyzed by the multi-residue method of the Korean Food Code for 373 different pesticides using GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, GC-ECD/NPD, and HPLC-UVD.

Genetic analysis of phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase from Vibrio furnissii and characterization of its role in virulence.

The pmm gene from Vibrio furnissii, which encodes phosphomannomutase (PMM), was cloned and sequenced. The open reading frame consisted of 1,434 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 477 amino acids with a molecular mass of 53,325 Da. The predicted amino acid sequence of V.

Characterization of Vibrio mimicus phospholipase A (PhlA) and cytotoxicity on fish cell.

Vibrio mimicus is a typical strain of Vibrio cholerae and produces a phospholipase (PhlA) which shares a highly conserved amino acid sequence with the lecithinase (Lec) of V. cholerae. The recombinant protein (rPhlA) produced from the phlA gene of V.
