Resistance of biofilm- and pellicle-embedded strains of Escherichia coli encoding the transmissible locus of stress tolerance (tLST) to oxidative sanitation chemicals
Download2021-12-02
Xu, Zhaohui S., Yang, Xianqin, Gänzle, Michael G.
Biofilm formation in food processing plants reduces the efficacy of sanitation. The presence of transmissible locus of stress tolerance (tLST) also enhances resistance of planktonic cells of Escherichia coli to sanitation chemicals but the role of tLST in resistance of biofilm-embedded cells...

Xue, Shiming, Bors, Robert H., Strelkov, Stephen E.
Forty-three accessions from 11 strawberry species were screened in the greenhouse for resistance to three strains of Xanthomonas fragariae Kennedy and King. Among the accessions tested, Pen-5 of Fragaria pentaphylla Losink expressed either no symptoms or a hypersensitive reaction, while...

Responses to n-3 fatty acid (LCPUFA) supplementation of gestating gilts, and lactating and weaned sows
Download2012
Smit, M. N., Patterson, Jennifer L., Spencer, Joel D., Dixon, Walter T., Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Cameron, Ashley C., Webel, Stephen K.
Feeding n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) to gilts or sows has shown different responses to litter growth, pre-weaning mortality and subsequent reproductive performance of the sow. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) that feeding a marine oil-based supplement rich in protected n-3...

Reusability of immobilized cellulases with highly retained enzyme activity and their application for the hydrolysis of model substrates and lignocellulosic biomass
Download2015
Bressler, David C., Parashar, Archana, Ikeda, Yuko, Chae, Michael
Enzyme immobilization is a promising approach to reduce enzyme cost in lignocellulose-based biorefining. This paper describes the reusability of immobilized cellulases and examines hydrolysis of various components of lignocellulose and industrial lignocellulosic biomass when using immobilized...

Reutericyclin producing Lactobacillus reuteri modulates development of fecal microbiota in weanling pigs
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Le, Minh H. A., Yang, Yan, Gänzle, Michael G., Zijlstra, Ruurd
Lactobacillus reuteri is used as probiotic culture in food and feed applications; however, strain specific properties of L. reuteri that mediate probiotic activity remain unknown. This study aimed to determine effects of feed fermentation with exopolysaccharide and reutericyclin producing L....

van Houten, B., Patel, M., Chan, C. B., Orrenius, S. , Fariss, M. W.
Oxidative stress and mitochondrial oxidative damage have been implicated in the etiology of numerous common diseases. The critical mitochondrial events responsible for oxidative stress–mediated cell death (toxic oxidative stress), however, have yet to be defined. Several oxidative events...

Roles of small RNAs in the effects of nutrition on apoptosis and spermatogenesis in the adult testis
Download2015
Malecki, Irek A., Martin, Graeme B., Cozens, Greg, Hawken, Penelope A.R., Liang, Guanxiang, Guan, Yongjuan, Vercoe, Philip E., Guan, Le Luo
We tested whether reductions in spermatozoal quality induced by under-nutrition are associated with increased germ cell apoptosis and disrupted spermatogenesis, and whether these effects are mediated by small RNAs. Groups of 8 male sheep were fed for a 10% increase or 10% decrease in body mass...

Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range
Download2015
Cox, Faith, Janssen, Peter H., Henderson, Gemma, Jonker, Arjan, Young, Wayne, Ganesh, Siva
Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions. Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and camelid foregut microbial community composition was...

Ruminal acidosis and the rapid onset of ruminal parakeratosis in a mature dairy cow: A case report
Download2009
Hook, Sarah E., AlZahal, Ousama, McBride, Brian W., Croom, Jim, Steele, Michael A.
A mature dairy cow was transitioned from a high forage (100% forage) to a high-grain (79% grain) diet over seven days. Continuous ruminal pH recordings were utilized to diagnose the severity of ruminal acidosis. Additionally, blood and rumen papillae biopsies were collected to describe the...

Sarcopenic obesity and myosteratosis are associated with higher mortality in patients with cirrhosis
Download2016
Beaumont, C., Angulo, P. Meza-Junco, J., Prado, C. M., Montano-Loza, A. J., Esfandiari, N., Sawyer, M. B., Ma, M., Baracos, V. E.
Background and aimsObesity is frequently associated with cirrhosis, and cirrhotic patients may develop simultaneous lossof skeletal muscle and gain of adipose tissue, culminating in the condition of sarcopenic obesity. Additionally, muscle depletionis characterized by both a reduction in muscle...
