We present an article concerning Bacillus: A Ubiquitous Bacteria Genus.

The expression “viable but nonculturable” (VNC) bacteria, describes cells that cannot normally be cultured; however, a better explanation of the status of these bacteria would be “not immediately culturable”.

Chronobacter spp. Classic and New Detection Methods

MC-Media Pad – Validation Summary

This article will focus on results obtained for MC-Media Pad RAC, MC-Media Pad Coliform, MC-Media Pad E. coli & Coliform & MC-Media Pad Yeast & Mold.

Cultivation of Shigella

Shigella spp. are predominantly connected to humans and are rarely isolated from other animals, with the exception of primates.

Revised IFU Method No. 12 for Detection of Alicyclobacillus spp. in Fruit Juices

Alicyclobacillus spp. can be difficult to control in fruit juice products as their spores survive juice pasteurization temperatures and may subsequently germinate and grow after processing if conditions are suitable. The economic impact of such incidents can be very high.

抗菌肽

由于细菌耐药性和新出现的传染病成为人类的潜在威胁，核糖体合成的抗菌肽已成为抗生素研究的一个有前途的重点领域。

Early Detection of Fungal Hyphae on Bread by Fluorescently Labelled Lectins

Atto-dye labeled lectins provide a strong fluorescent signal without requiring additional amplification; surface fungi can be detected long before visible mold develops.

Probiotics and Human Health

Today, diverse studies report the benefits of probiotics, such as inhibitory effects on pathogens, aid in the management or prevention of chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases or atopic syndromes, and support to the immune system. Potential beneficial applications abound, researchers continue

Food for thought: EN ISO 11133:2014

The new EN ISO 11133:2014 quality-assured culture media for food and water testing to enhance consumer safety. The ultimate aim of the new standard is to further improve the safety of the food and beverage products we consume.

Culture Method for Beer Quality Control

Traditional methods are based morphology, staining methods, enzyme reactions (metabolism) and diverse media.

Probiotics in the Food Industry

Probiotics are defined as live bacteria with beneficial effects to the health of the host organism. Pimarily lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria are used as probiotics, however certain yeasts and bacilli are also known to have positive effects

Pseudomonas Media and Tests

An article concerning the detection, identification, differentiation, and cultivation of Pseudomonas species.

Media for Staphylococcus Aureus Detection

Chromogenic media enable the selective detection of S. aureus, which produce bluish-green colonies that are clearly differentiated from other species.

Food for thought: EN ISO 11133:2014

The new EN ISO 11133:2014 quality-assured culture media for food and water testing to enhance consumer safety. The ultimate aim of the new standard is to further improve the safety of the food and beverage products we consume.

Antimicrobial Peptides

With bacterial resistance and emerging infectious diseases becoming potential threats to humans, ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides have become a promising focus area in antibiotic research.

Viable but Nonculturable Bacteria

The expression “viable but nonculturable” (VNC) bacteria, describes cells that cannot normally be cultured. However this makes little sense, when one considers that the demonstration of culturability remains the best practically acceptable definition of viability.

MC-Media Pad – Validation Summary

This article will focus on results obtained for MC-Media Pad RAC, MC-Media Pad Coliform, MC-Media Pad E. coli & Coliform & MC-Media Pad Yeast & Mold.

EN ISO 11133:2014 Quality-assured Culture Media for Food and Water Testing to Enhance Consumer Safety

EN ISO 11133:2014 - Mandatory standard for media preparation, production, storage and performance testing. In May 2014, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published the revised EN ISO 11133, which is now a full standard and as such, mandatory for
