Abstract

A method to extract mold spores from porous ceiling tiles was developed using a masticator blender. Ceiling tiles were inoculated and analyzed using four species of mold. Statistical analysis comparing results obtained by masticator extraction and the swab method was performed. The masticator method was demonstrated as efficient for bulk sampling of ceiling tiles.

Modeling the growth of Listeria monocytogenes based on a time to detect model in culture media and frankfurters.

In the current study, temperature dependent growth of Listeria monocytogenes strain H7776, with an initial inoculum level of approximately 0.1 CFU/mL or g, was modeled based on "time to detect" (TTD) using the Arrhenius equation. The activation energies (E(a)) obtained from specific growth rate and lag phase duration in tryptic soy broth (TSB) and frankfurters were compared. At 4 degrees C, the TTD for L. monocytogenes was 217 h in TSB and 48 h in portions of frankfurters. The TTD decreased as temperature increased from 4 to 36 degrees C in both culture media and frankfurters, and this relationship was modeled using the Arrhenius equation. Based on this model, the E(a) values for the TTD in TSB and frankfurters averaged 22.7 and 18.7 kcal/mol, respectively, and were not significantly different (p<0.05). Linear regression was performed on the exponential part of the growth curve to evaluate specific growth rate constants at each temperature using the Monod model. The E(a) values were also calculated based on the specific growth rate and the lag phase of L. monocytogenes in TSB and frankfurters incubated in the same range of temperatures. The average E(a) values for the specific growth rates and the lag phase durations in TSB cultures were 19 and 21 kcal/mol, respectively. In frankfurters, the average E(a) values were slightly greater for both specific growth rate and lag phase duration (29 and 35 kcal/mol, respectively), but these values were not significantly different from the E(a) calculated for the TTD in each medium. These results indicate that the TTD concept can be used to develop and validate safety-based shelf life models.

A synchrotron FTIR microspectroscopy investigation of fungal hyphae grown under optimal and stressed conditions.

Synchrotron FTIR can provide high spatial resolution (<10 microm pixel size) in situ biochemical analyses of intact biotissues, an area of increasing importance in the post-genomic era, as gene functions and gene networks are coming under direct scrutiny. With this technique, we can simultaneously assess multiple aspects of cell biochemistry and cytoplasmic composition. In this paper, we report the first results of our synchrotron FTIR examination of hyphae of three important fungal model systems, each with sequenced genomes and a wealth of research: Aspergillus, Neurospora, and Rhizopus. We have analyzed the FTIR maps of Aspergillus nidulans cells containing the hypA1 allele, a well-characterized single-gene temperature-sensitive morphogenetic mutation. The hypA1 cells resemble wildtype at 28 degrees C but have growth defects at 42 degrees C. We have also investigated Neurospora and Rhizopus cultures grown in media with optimal or elevated pH. Significant differences between the spectra of the three fungi are likely related to differences in composition and structure. In addition, high spatial resolution synchrotron FTIR spectroscopy provides an outstanding method for monitoring subtle subcellular changes that accompany environmental stress.

The influence of modified atmospheres and their interaction with water activity on the radial growth and fumonisin B(1) production of Fusarium verticillioides and F. proliferatum on corn. Part II: The effect of initial headspace oxygen concentration.

This paper is the second in a series of two that describe the effect of modified atmospheres on the growth and mycotoxin production of Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum on corn. In this part, the effect of initial headspace (IH) oxygen concentration and its interaction with water activity (a(w)) on growth and fumonisin B(1) production was investigated. In addition, the impact of vacuum packaging and in-cooperation of O(2) scrubbing sachets was also studied. It was observed that at all a(w) values studied, reduction of IH O(2) concentration from 20 to 2% had no significant effect on the colony growth rate (g, mm d(-1)) and lag phase duration (lambda, d). However, g and lambda were positively and negatively correlated to a(w). The IH O(2) concentration was determined to have a a(w) dependent effect on the oxygen consumption rate. Although the maximum colony diameter (D(max), mm) decreased with the reduction of the IH O(2) level, the greatest mycelial density occurred at 10% IH O(2) for both isolates. This observation was accompanied by a trend of a decrease in the value of the IH O(2) level at which the most fumonisin B(1) was produced from 15 to 5% when the a(w) was decreased from 0.976 to 0.930 for F. verticillioides. For F. proliferatum the optimum conditions for fumonisin B(1) production shifted from 20% at a(w) 0.976 to 10% at both 0.951 and 0.930. Vacuum packaging and the in-cooperation of O(2) absorbing sachets completely inhibited the growth of both isolates. These results together with those reported in Part I of the study indicate that O(2) should preferably be completely excluded from modified atmospheres that are employed to protect stored corn from fungal growth and mycotoxin production.
