Survival data of Escherichia coli O157:H7 933 and Staphylococcus aureus 485 in carrot juice and peptone water were collected in a range of pressure levels between 200 and 400 MPa at 40 degrees C. A mathematical approach combining the primary and secondary models (Weibull and first-order models as the primary model and two empirical equations as the secondary model) was proposed to estimate the microbial parameters using nonlinear least squares procedure in one step, resulting a single equation. Although not perfectly matched with the survival data, the proposed model produced good fits. Better fits were observed for S. aureus than for E call. Simulations of 5log(10) reductions of both pathogens indicated that carrot juice had a protective effect on E. coli whereas it had a sensitizing effect on S. aureus. The development of such mathematical models would be very beneficial to the food industry by developing safe processing conditions for HHP processing of foods.

Physiological changes of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus following exposure to high hydrostatic pressure
ÇELİK, MUTLU; Yousef, Ahmed; Alpas, Hami (2013-09-01)
Morphological changes and membrane integrity of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus cells before and after high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatments (200-400 MPa) and time (1-5 min), at a constant temperature (40 A degrees C), in peptone water were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescent microscopy, respectively. SEM images showed that unpressurized cells exhibited a smooth surface appearance. E. coli O157:H7 cells exposed to pressure treatments first appeared la...
First reference map for Phanerochaete chrysosporium proteome
Yıldırım, Volkan; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2006)
In this study, the soluble protein fraction of P. chrysosporium grown under standard conditions was analyzed by using 2D-PAGE approach and a 2-D reference map was constructed. 910 spots could be separated and detected on Coomassie-stained 2-D gels by the help of Delta2D image analysis software. 720 spots could be cut from the master gel and were subjected to MALDI-TOF MS analysis followed by MASCOT search. A total of 517 spots out of 720 were assigned to specific accession numbers from the P. chrysosporium ...
Evaluation of PCB dechlorination pathways in anaerobic sediment microcosms using an anaerobic dechlorination model
Demirtepe, Hale; Kjellerup, Birthe; Sowers, Kevin R.; İmamoğlu, İpek (Elsevier BV, 2015-10-15)
A detailed quantitative analysis of anaerobic dechlorination (AD) pathways of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment microcosms was performed by applying an anaerobic dechlorination model (ADM). The purpose of ADM is to systematically analyze changes in a contaminant profile that result from microbial reductive dechlorination according to empirically determined dechlorination pathways. In contrast to prior studies that utilized modeling tools to predict dechlorination pathways, ADM also provides quant...
Measurements of differential production cross sections for a Z boson in association with jets in pp collisions at root s=8 TeV
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01)
Cross sections for the production of a Z boson in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV are measured using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC corresponding to 19.6 fb(-1). Differential cross sections are presented as functions of up to three observables that describe the jet kinematics and the jet activity. Correlations between the azimuthal directions and the rapidities of the jets and the Z boson are studied in detail. The pred...
ON THE THERMODYNAMICS OF MICROBIAL-GROWTH PROCESSES
SANDLER, SI; ORBEY, H (Wiley, 1991-10-05)
In this article, we provide a rigorous thermodynamic analysis of microbial growth processes, clarify the role of the generalized degree of reduction concept as it is used in both stoichiometric equations and as a characterizing factor for thermophysical properties, and introduce a classification method to account for errors when using the generalized degree of reduction to estimate the energy and free energy contents of molecules. We maintain the advantages of using the generalized degree of reduction whil...
