The effectiveness of electrolyzed oxidizing water, FreshFx, hot water, DL-lactic acid, and ozonated water was determined using a model carcass spray-washing cabinet. A total of 140 beef heads obtained from a commercial processing line were inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 on the cheek areas. Each head was exposed to a simulated preevisceration wash and then had antimicrobial wash treatm...

The objective of the present study was to assess the chemical and bromatological composition and in situ degradability of elephant grass silages inoculated with Streptococcus bovis isolated from cattle rumen. A complete randomized design was used with four treatments and six replications: elephant grass silage, elephant grass silage inoculated with 10(6) CFU/g Streptococcus bovis JB1 strains; e...

salinity is one of the major problems in the world's vast areas of land are also faced with this problem. endophytes are microorganisms that use of the soil microorganisms, the reduction of environmental stresses such as salinity, has become a global solution. therefore, to investigate the effects of inoculation of fungal endophytes piriformospora indica and bacteria symbiosis hay azospiri...

Four uniform fungicide trials were planted in Michigan during 3 – 8 Oct 2005. The sites were at the Plant Pathology Farm, East Lansing MI, (inoculated with Fusarium graminearum and mist-irrigated); Bean and Beet Farm, Saginaw, MI (inoculated/not-irrigated); Sanilac, Sanilac County, MI and at Williamston, Ingham County, MI (not-inoculated/not-irrigated). Caledonia wheat, treated with Thiram 42S ...

Edible-fungal-based solid-state fermentation holds promise for sustainable food and biofuel production. Understanding the role of microbial communities in fungal substrates is crucial. Birch-based were treated with autoclaving (121 °C, at 2 bar) or hot air pasteurization (75–100 °C), followed by incubation without shiitake (Lentinula edodes) inoculum. Mycelial growth was monitored CO2 release b...

Raw poultry carcasses are often contaminated with pathogens, including Salmonella spp., Campylobacter jejuni and Listeria monocytogenes. Campylobacteriosis is an emerging and one of the most frequently reported zoonotic infectious disease. Further to the best management practices in husbandry, slaughtering and processing, decontaminating treatments might be required to control microbial hazards...

wind is an important erosive force in deserts, where limited cover of vascular plant material offers little soil-surface protection. erosion and sediment from soil surfaces occurs when wind forces exceed soil threshold friction velocities. soils with physical or biological crusts usually resist wind erosion. this study was conducted by the aim of investigation the effect of trichoderma harzianu...
