Campylobacter spp. cannot grow in raw milk, but it is able to transform into a viable non-culturable (VBNC) state enabling the survival such harsh conditions. In this study, jejuni milk was investigated taken consideration colony-forming units (CFUs) and VBNC cells. CFU from two different strains of C. (DSM 4688 BfR-CA-18043) were enumerated at three temperatures (5°C, 8°C, 12°C). parallel, via...

Angular leaf spot of cashew tree in Brazil has been attributed to pigmented and nonpigmented strains Xanthomonas citri pv. anacardii. Due the possibility dissemination disease by propagating material, it is necessary understand survival mechanisms causal agent. Thus, present study aimed characterize behavior viable but non-cultivable cells (VBNC) two (CCRMTAQ13 CCRMTAQ18) one strain (IBSBF2579)...

It is critical that breweries of all sizes routinely monitor the microbiome their process to limit financial losses due microbial contamination. Contamination by beer-spoiling microbes (BSMs) at any point during brewing may lead significant for if gone undetected and allowed spread. Testing detection BSMs must be routine rapid, because even small need capability BSM identification, method also ...

Biological mechanisms of disinfection not only vary by disinfectant but also remain well understood. We investigated the physiological and transcriptomic response Escherichia coli at late stationary phase to ferrate monochloramine in amended lake water. Although treatments similarly reduced culturable cell concentrations 3-log10, 64% 11% treated cells were viable following treatment, respective...

The colonization of apple blossoms and leaves by Pseudomonas fluorescens EPS62e was monitored in greenhouse and field trials using cultivable cell counting and real-time PCR. The real-time PCR provided a specific quantitative method for the detection of strain EPS62e. The detection level was around 10(2) cells g (fresh weight)(-1) and the standard curve was linear within a 5-log range. EPS62e a...
