Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics of the lactic acid bacteria

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses, comparison of gene content across the group, and reconstruction of ancestral gene sets indicate a combination of extensive gene loss and key gene acquisitions via horizontal gene transfer during the coevolution of lactic acid bacteria with their habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance of Listeria monocytogenes Biofilms to Sanitizing Agents in a Simulated Food Processing Environment

TL;DR: Data suggest that the resistance of the treated biofilms to sanitizing agents may be due to attributes of extracellular polymeric substances and is not an intrinsic attribute of the cells in the biofilm.
Book ChapterDOI

Microbiological Spoilage of Fruits and Vegetables

TL;DR: Characteristics of spoilage microorganisms associated with each of these fruit and vegetable categories including spoilage mechanisms, spoilage defects, prevention and control of spoilages, and methods for detecting spoilagemicroorganisms are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enumeration of Viable Listeria monocytogenes Cells by Real-Time PCR with Propidium Monoazide and Ethidium Monoazide in the Presence of Dead Cells

TL;DR: Viable cell counts were linearly related to real-time PCR threshold cycle values for PMA-treated cells from planktonic and biofilm sources over a 4-log range.
