The plating efficiencies and shelf lives of locally made buffered charcoal yeast extract medium supplemented with alpha-ketoglutaric acid (BCYEalpha) were compared to those of media made by BD, Hardy, and Remel. Lung homogenates from guinea pigs infected with Legionella pneumophila were plated monthly onto different medium lots. All media performed equally well and had shelf lives of at least 12 months.

A Low-Cost, Open-Source 3D Printer for Multimaterial and High-Throughput Direct Ink Writing of Soft and Living Materials.
Adv Mater

Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 94305, USA.
Direct ink writing is a 3D printing method that is compatible with a wide range of structural, elastomeric, electronic, and living materials, and it continues to expand its uses into physics, engineering, and biology laboratories. However, the large footprint, closed hardware and software ecosystems, and expense of commercial systems often hamper widespread adoption. This work introduces a compact, low-cost, multimaterial, and high-throughput direct ink writing 3D printer platform with detailed assembly files and instructions provided freely online.

Both fresh and processed Chinese chestnuts are susceptible to retrograde hardening, affecting their texture, flavor, and shelf life because of their high starch content. To reduce the short-term retrogradation of chestnut starch during the food processing of chestnut-based products, a complex of Lonicern caerulea berry polyphenols (LCBP) and chestnut starch (CS) was prepared using high hydraulic pressure (HHP). The results showed that LCBP reduced the water separation rate, hardness, elasticity, and short-range order of retrograde CS under HHP and improved light transmission.

Background: Foodborne illness is a significant public health concern, particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh. Young adults, aged 18-26 (including undergraduates and recent graduates), are especially vulnerable to the onset of unhealthy eating habits and nutritional imbalances as they begin living independently, often away from their families. This research aims to identify the risk factors associated with the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to safe food handling among residential university students.

Confined by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the European continental shelf, the deep-sea acorn barnacle (Hoek, 1883) lives in the northeast Atlantic deep sea, where it has been frequently reported in high current areas. Cemented to a solid substrate during its entire adult life, the species can only disperse by means of planktotrophic nauplius larvae. This study reports on the occurrence, ecology and genetic connectivity of from four sites within the northeastern Iceland Basin and presents the first record of the species living affiliated with hydrothermal vent field on the Reykjanes Ridge axis.
