Published: April 1993

Listeria innocua M1 was developed as a thermal processing indicator organism for L. monocytogenes by selection of a rifampin- and streptomycin-resistant mutant. zetaD values were 5.6 and 5.8 degrees C, and D (68 degrees C) values were 3.8 and 4.9 s for L. monocytogenes and L. innocua, respectively, in skim milk. The advantages of easy selection, similar heat resistance, and nonpathogenicity make L. innocua M1 appropriate for challenge studies designed to evaluate process lethality with respect to L. monocytogenes.

Background: Paenibacillus polymyxa, is a Gram-positive, plant growth promoting bacterium, known for producing 98% optically pure 2,3-butanediol, an industrially valuable chemical for solvents, plasticizers and resins. Immobilization of Paenibacillus polymyxa has been proposed to improve the cell stability and efficiency of the fermentation process, reduce contamination and provide easy separation of butanediol in the culture broth as compared to conventional bioprocesses. This research aimed to explore the potential of Paenibacillus polymyxa with immobilization technique to produce 2,3-butanediol.

Background: The prion-like spreading of Tau pathology is the leading cause of disease progression in various tauopathies. A critical step in propagating pathologic Tau in the brain is the transport from the extracellular environment and accumulation inside naïve neurons. Current research indicates that human neurons internalize both the physiological extracellular Tau (eTau) monomers and the pathological eTau aggregates.

Introduction: Cell-processing operations can potentially contaminate biosafety cabinets, which should be maintained sterile. However, unintended contamination can occur owing to the presence of viruses, mycoplasmas, and bacteria in the raw materials. Moreover, although several methods for expunging these contaminants have been proposed, an optimal method has not yet been determined.

Perturbation of gene expression using RNA interference (RNAi) or CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a useful strategy to explore the function of essential genes. In the archaeon Haloferax volcanii, the CRISPR-Cas system has been adapted as a CRISPRi tool to silence the expression of specific genes. We developed a laboratory class (LC) to conceptualize gene silencing through inactivation of the H.
