Food-Borne Bacteria Associated with Seafoods: A Brief Review

Consumption of contaminated seafoods is a major cause of death and hospitalization particularly in poor and developing countries. As with other food types, seafoods are also not free of food-borne pathogens and several risk factors are associated with its consumption. Regarding seafoods, there are regulatory hygienic alerts in importing countries. This paper briefly reviews the occurrence of se...

On the plasma membrane of some bacteria and fungi.

The coniteints of bacterial cells cain be reversibly pulled away. (plasmolyzed) from the wall by strong salt solutions. Bacterial "protoplasts''-living cells divested of their wallshrink or swell with changing concentrations of solutes in their environment and burst when this concentration falls below a critical level. These observations have long suggested that the cytoplasm of bacteria is cov...

Filamentous fungi producing ochratoxin a during cocoa processing in Cameroon.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is the main mycotoxin occurring in cocoa. A study was conducted in Cameroon to assess how filamentous fungi and toxigenesis were affected by the type of cocoa post-harvest treatment (boxes or heaps). The filamentous fungi isolated were almost identical when fermentation was carried out in boxes or heaps, with the presence of abundant black Aspergillus filamentous fungi: A. ni...
