TL;DR: Electroporation using the electroporation solutions 952 m m sucrose with 3·5 m m MgCl2 or 30% polyethylene glycol (PEG 1500) was found to be efficient, giving transformation efficiencies sufficient for most practical applications.

TL;DR: The combined inhibitory and sensory results showed that a mixture of 2.5% lactate and 0.25% acetate could be used to increase the margins of safety for sliced and spreadable vacuum-packed ready-to-eat cooked meat products stored for 4-6 weeks.

TL;DR: In this paper, a DNA fragment of approximately 1.8 kb, derived from a 60-kb plasmid of strain Lb706 and present in the inserts of both clones, was used to identify genes involved in sakacin A production and immunity.

TL;DR: A mathematical model was developed for predicting the growth of L. monocytogenes at 9 degrees C in the presence of 70 ppm sodium nitrite, and at different levels of pH, sodium chloride, sodium lactate and sodium acetate, and showed a linear relationship between the values of the maximum specific growth rates derived from the absorbance and the ones derived from viable count measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that lactic acid fermentation of non-blanched potato rods for 45 min reduced acrylamide level in French fries with 48%, and with 71% after 120 min.
