Development and validation of a surrogate strain cocktail to evaluate bactericidal effects of pressure on verotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Download2015-01-01
Garcia-Hernandez, Rigoberto, McMullen, Lynn, Gänzle, Michael G.
Many strains of verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) are highly resistant to pressure. To facilitate future studies to improve the elimination of VTEC by pressure processing of food, this study developed and validated a cocktail of non-pathogenic strains of E. coli with equal or higher...

Development of a metabolic calorimeter system to measure heat production of domestic avian embryos during incubation
Download2006
Feddes, John J. R., Segura, J. C., Ouellette, C. A., Zuidhof, Martins J., Fasenko, Gaylene M.
A metabolic calorimeter system was developed to facilitate collection of metabolic data from 24 embryos within an incubator. The system was designed to monitor carbon dioxide (CO2 ), oxygen, and water vapour over a 2.5-minute period every hour from each metabolic chamber during both the...

Development of a porcine (Sus scofus) embryo-specific microarray: Annotation and validation
Download2012
Dobrinsky, John, Zhou, Chi, Pasternak, J. Alexander, Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Nieminen, Julie, Tsoi, Stephen, Rigault, Philippe, Sirard, Marc-André, Robert, Claude, Grant, Jason R.
Background The domestic pig is an important livestock species and there is strong interest in the factors that affect the development of viable embryos and offspring in this species. A limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in early embryonic development has inhibited our...

Development of gluten-free breads started with chia and flaxseed sourdoughs fermented by selected lactic acid bacteria
Download2020-05-01
Maidana, Stefania Dentice, Finch, Susan, Garro, Marisa, Savoy, Graciela, Gänzle, Michael G., Vignolo, Graciela
Gluten-free baked goods are a challenge for biotechnologists and nutritionists because their low baking characteristics. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were identified and characterized from chia flour and spontaneously fermented sourdough. Based on techno-functional and safety properties, Weissella...

Development of ruminal and fecal microbiomes are affected by weaning but not weaning strategy in dairy calves
Download2016
Khafipour, Ehsan, Steele, Michael A., Meale, Sarah J., Plaizier, Jan C., Li, Shucong, Derakhshani, Hooman, Azevedo, Paula
The nature of weaning, considered the most stressful and significant transition experienced by dairy calves, influences the ability of a calf to adapt to the dramatic dietary shift, and thus, can influence the severity of production losses through the weaning transition. However, the effects of...

Diabetes-prone BioBreeding rats do not have a normal immune response when weaned to a diet containing fermentable fibre
Download2004
Bell, Rhonda C., Field, Catherine J., Stillie, RoseMarie
Diet is known to modulate the development of diabetes in diabetes-prone BioBreeding (BBdp) rats. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of fermentable fibre (FF) on immune function in BBdp and diabetes-resistant BioBreeding (BBdr) rats after weaning. Weanling BBdp...

Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) activity in relation to muscle fat content and DGAT1 genotype in two different breeds of Bos taurus
Download2006-01-01
Sorensen, Brent M., Kühn, Christa, Teuscher, Friedrich, Schneider, Falk, Weselake, Randall J., Wegner, Jochen J.
To circumvent the obvious waste of resources when producing good marbled beef, research is needed to clarify mechanisms which are involved in intramuscular fat storage in cattle. The possible association between the activity of diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) and muscle fat content was...

Diet and environment shape fecal bacterial microbiota composition and enteric pathogen load of grizzly bears
Download2011-01-01
Northrup, Joseph M., Cristescu, Bogdan, Schwab, Clarissa, Stenhouse, Gordon B., Gänzle, Michael G.
Background Diet and environment impact the composition of mammalian intestinal microbiota; dietary or health disturbances trigger alterations in intestinal microbiota composition and render the host susceptible to enteric pathogens. To date no long term monitoring data exist on the fecal...

Borchers, Christoph H., Willing, Benjamin P., Sansonetti, Philippe J., Uhrig, Marco, Vonaesch, Pascale, Reynolds, Lisa A., Scholz, Roland, Wlodarska, Marta, Partida, Oswaldo, & Finlay, B. Brett, Brown, Eric M., Han, Jun, Arrieta, Marie-Claire
Environmental enteropathy (EE) is a subclinical chronic inflammatory disease of the small intestine and has a profound impact on the persistence of childhood malnutrition worldwide. However, the aetiology of the disease remains unknown and no animal model exists to date, the creation of which...
