Gram-negative identification card for identification of Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and other Enterobacteriaceae isolated from foods: collaborative study

Twelve laboratories evaluated the Gram-Negative Identification (GNI) Card to identify members of the Enterobacteriaceae. Eighty-four isolates, previously isolated from foods, were used in the collaborative study; the isolates represented 12 genera within the Enterobacteriaceae group. Each collaborator streaked each isolate on tryptic soy agar plates for purity. In the method, plates are incubated 18-24 h at 35 degrees C. Isolated colonies are then subcultured to tryptic soy agar slants and incubated 18-24 h at 35 degrees C. An emulsion is made from the growth on the slant in 1.8 mL 0.45% sodium chloride solution. The GNI Card is filled and placed in a reader/incubator. Isolates are identified and an identification is printed. The Vitek System correctly identified 96.7% of Salmonella sp., 97.0% of Escherichia coli, and an average of 93.8% of the other enteric genera. The method using the Vitek System and GNI Card has been approved interim official first action by AOAC as a screening method for the presumptive identification of Salmonella sp., E. coli, and other Enterobacteriaceae isolated from foods.  相似文献   

Longitudinal growth strain as a log and wood quality predictor for plantation-grown <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eucalyptus nitens</Emphasis> sawlogs

Peripheral longitudinal growth strain (LGS) was measured on a total of 81, 22-year-old pruned Eucalyptus nitens trees from five thinning treatments in a plantation thinning trial in Tasmania. Growth strain data were gathered at breast height on each tree using the CIRAD-Forêt method. The effects of thinning treatment and tree diameter on LGS and its relationships to solid-wood traits determined in a processing trial were examined. LGS was significantly higher in the direction of the prevailing wind and was not significantly affected by either thinning treatment or tree diameter. An index of log end splitting was positively related to tree diameter, sawlog position (upper/lower), and LGS, which explained up to an additional 20% of the variance after tree diameter and log position were accounted for in a linear regression model. High LGS and log end splitting were significant indicators of increased board end splitting.  相似文献   

Histological structures of cooked rice grain     

Ogawa Y  Glenn GM  Orts WJ  Wood DF 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2003,51(24):7019-7023

Raw and cooked whole grain sections of milled, medium grain California rice were compared for gross histological and morphological features using fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cooked and raw grains were compared and the differences were assessed by autofluorescence of the cell walls and correlating fluorescence to SEM images. Milled, raw grains contain fine cracks throughout the endosperm. Cooked grains have wider, more defined cracks, suggesting that they serve as channels for water migration into the grain during cooking. Water penetrates unequally into the grain during cooking: low water penetration produces dense regions with minimal starch gelatinization, and high water penetration produces large voided areas. The voids occur in the transverse orientation of the grain and are the main of cause grain expansion during cooking.  相似文献   

Sorption and vapor transmission properties of uncompressed and compressed microcellular starch foam     

Glenn GM  Klamczynski AP  Takeoka G  Orts WJ  Wood D  Widmaier R 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2002,50(24):7100-7104

Microcellular starch foams (MCFs) are made by a solvent-exchange process and consist of a porous matrix with pores generally ranging from approximately 2 microm to submicrometer size. MCF may potentially be useful as a slow-release agent for volatile compounds because of its ability to sorb chemicals from the atmosphere and to absorb liquids into its porous structure, and because it can be compressed to form a starch plastic. MCF made of high-amylose corn and wheat starches was prepared with or without 2% (w/w) silicone oil (SO) or palmitic acid (PA). The MCF was loaded with 1% of various volatile compounds with vapor pressures ranging from 0.02 to 28 mm. The MCF depressed the vapor pressure from 0.37 to 37% compared to a control containing no MCF. Incorporating SO or PA in the matrix of the MCF had little effect on sorption of volatiles. Compressing MCF at 1.4, 6.9, and 69 MPa made a starch plastic with varying porosity. The vapor transmission rate of various volatile compounds through MCF was positively correlated to the vapor pressure of the test compound but was inversely proportional to the compression force used to form the starch plastic. The results indicate that uncompressed and compressed MCFs could be effective slow-release agents for a variety of volatile compounds, especially if used together.  相似文献

Western pine beetle: field response to its sex pheromone and a synergistic host terpene, myrcene     

Bedard WD  Tilden PE  Wood DL  Silverstein RM  Brownlee RG  Rodin JO 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1969,164(3885):1284-1285

In the field, both sexes of the western pine beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis, are attracted by the female-produced bicyclic ketal exo-brevicomin; this response is enhanced by myrcene (a constituent of the beetle's host, ponderosapine), which is not an attractant by itself. This synergism may be part of the phenomenon of the mass attack on its host. Temnochila virescens chlorodia, one of the principal insectan predators of this beetle, is attracted by exo-brevicomin alone.  相似文献   

Crystal structure analysis of deamino-oxytocin: conformational flexibility and receptor binding   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

S P Wood  I J Tickle  A M Treharne  J E Pitts  Y Mascarenhas  J Y Li  J Husain  S Cooper  T L Blundell  V J Hruby 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1986,232(4750):633-636

Two crystal structures of deamino-oxytocin have been determined at better than 1.1A resolution from isomorphous replacement and anomalous scattering x-ray measurements. In each of two crystal forms there are two closely related conformers with disulfide bridges of different chirality, which may be important in receptor recognition and activation.  相似文献
