  2. 1. Advances in DNA Detection

    Author : Yajing Song; Olof Emanuelsson; Jonas Tegenfeldt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; DNA detection; active filter paper; visual detection; throughput; fluorescence; superparamagnetic beads; rare DNA; Q-PCR; chemical fragmentation; DNA library preparation; massively parallel sequencing; SRA - Molecular Bioscience; SRA - Molekylär biovetenskap;

    Abstract : DNA detection technologies have an increasing importance in our everyday lives, with applications ranging from microbial diagnostics to forensic analysis, food safety evaluation, and environmental monitoring. Currently, as the associated costs decrease, DNA diagnostic techniques are routinely used in research laboratories, in clinical and forensic practice. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterization of Camplyobacter jejuni and C. coli from Swedish patients and chickens - antibiotic resistance, genomic diversity and detection

    Author : Anna-Clara Rönner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Campylobacter jejuni is a Gram-negative, non-spore forming bacterium, which is currently the most common pathogen causing reported cases of food poisoning in Sweden, as well as in most other industrialized countries. Eating or drinking something containing these bacteria is often determined to be the source of infection and as few as 500 bacteria can be enough to cause illness. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pre-PCR Processing Strategies for Quantitative Detection of Food-Borne Pathogens using Real-Time PCR

    Author : Petra Wolffs; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Livsmedelsteknik; Food and drink technology; DNA polymerase; sample treatment; pre-PCR processing; real-time PCR; Food-borne pathogens;

    Abstract : Since the development of real-time PCR, the technology has been widely applied in the field of diagnostics. In comparison with conventional PCR it has opened up the possibility of accurate quantification of microorganisms in clinical, environmental and food samples. READ MORE

  6. 4. Assessment of environmental contaminants' neurotoxicity : in vitro and in vivo experimental studies

    Author : Wan Norhamidah Wan Ibrahim; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Accumulating evidence over several decades shows that environmental contaminants may lead to neurodevelopmental alterations. An essential prerequisite to prevention is recognition of a chemical‟s ability to harm the developing nervous system. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fermented probiotic beverage based on quinoa : Functionality, hygiene, and health effects

    Author : Pamela Rosario Canaviri Paz; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Quinoa grains; Fermentation; Lactic acid bacteria; Probiotics; Food safety; Starter culture; Polyphenol compounds; Microbiota composition; Functional food; Gut microbiota;

    Abstract : White quinoa grains were used as a source of novel beneficial microorganisms and as a matrix for development of a fermented plant-based drink. Studies on the quinoa grain microbiota were performed by applying spontaneous fermentation to allow isolation of autochthonous Lactiplantibacillus strains with potential to be used as starter cultures.
