Garcia-Hernandez, Rigoberto, Ruan, Lifang, Gänzle, Michael G., Zheng, Jinshui, Mercer, Ryan G., McMullen, Lynn M.
Escherichia coli AW1.7 is a heat resistant food isolate and the occurrence of pathogenic strains with comparable heat resistance may pose a risk to food safety. To identify the genetic determinants of heat resistance, 29 strains of E. coli that differed in their of heat resistance were analyzed...

Greenhouse gas emissions from calf- and yearling-fed beef production systems, with and without the use of growth promotants
Download2012
Baron, V. S, Aalhus, J. L., Basarab, J. A., López-Campos, Ó., Haugen-Kozyra, K., Okine, E. K.
A spring calving herd consisting of about 350 beef cows, 14–16 breeding bulls, 60 replacement heifers and 112 steers were used to compare the whole-farm GHG emissions among calf-fed vs. yearling-fed production systems with and without growth implants. Carbon footprint ranged from 11.63 to 13.22...

Identifying Gene Expression Differences Induced by Diets that Lead to Higher Omega-3 Fatty-Acid Deposition in Beef Cows
DownloadFall 2015
A strong emphasis on the type of fatty acids (FAs) consumed in the human diet has emerged in recent years. In this context, the various health benefits of consuming omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been widely reported. Supplementation of beef cattle diets with flaxseed, a...

Impact of carbohydrates and carnocyclin A on growth and gene expression of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadSpring 2024
L. monocytogenes is the foodborne pathogen that causes listeriosis, which has a high fatality rate of 20 to 30%. L. monocytogenes is often associated with ready-to-eat food products. Therefore, techniques to control growth of this organism are needed for the safety of these foods....

Fall 2014
The growth of Listeria monocytogenes and spoilage microorganisms is a concern in sodium-reduced ready-to-eat (RTE) meats. To assess the microbial risk of sodium-reduced RTE meats, the microbiota of retail RTE meats was profiled and the growth of L. monocytogenes and an autochthonous microbiota...

Improving beef hamburger quality and fatty acid profiles through dietary manipulation and exploitation of fat depot heterogeneity
Download2014
Dugan, Michael E. R., Rolland, David C., Uttaro, Bethany, Aalhus, Jennifer L., Block, Hushton C., Vahmani, Payam, Mapiye, Cletos, Proctor, Spencer D., McAllister, Timothy A.
Background Hamburger is the most consumed beef product in North America, but lacks in nutritional appeal due to its high fat content and high proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA). Objectives of the present study were to improve the FA profiles of hamburgers made with perirenal fat (PRF) and...

Influence of cyclopropane fatty acids on heat, high pressure, acid, and oxidative stress resistance in Escherichia coli
Download2016-01-01
Chen, Yuan Yao, Gänzle, Michael G.
Heat and high pressure resistant strains of Escherichia coli are a challenge to food safety. This study investigated effects of cyclopropane fatty acids (CFAs) on stress tolerance in the heat- and pressure-resistant strain E. coli AW1.7 and the sensitive strain E. coli MG1655. The role of CFAs...

Influence of sire breed on the interplay among rumen microbial populations inhabiting the rumen liquid of the progeny in beef cattle
Download2013
Guan, L. L., Wang, Z., Zhou, M., Goonewardene, L. A., Moore, S. S., Hernandez-Sanabria, E.
This study aimed to evaluate whether the host genetic background impact the ruminal microbial communities of the progeny of sires from three different breeds under different diets. Eighty five bacterial and twenty eight methanogen phylotypes from 49 individuals of diverging sire breed (Angus,...

Inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes growth and biofilm production by nisin and phenolic compounds.
DownloadFall 2017
The synergistic antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities of nisin and phenolic compounds against Listeria monocytogenes were investigated. Among the twenty six phenolic compounds tested in this study, butyl gallate, octyl gallate, lauryl gallate, propyl gallate, naringenin and quercetin...

Initial differences in lipid processing leading to pig- and beef-derived mature adipocyte dedifferentiation
Download2009
Fernyhough, Melinda E., Hausman, Gary J., Guan, Leluo, Guridi, Maitea, Jiang, Zhihua, Dodson, Michael V., Chen, Jie
Clonal cultures of pig-derived mature adipocytes are capable of dedifferentiating and forming proliferative-competent progeny cells in vitro. Initial lipid processing, is different to that observed in cultures of beef-derived adipocytes. Mature pig adipocytes extrude lipid before proliferation,...
