The European Observatory of Wildlife (EOW) as part the ENETWILD project, aims to improve capacity for monitoring wildlife populations, implementing international standards data collection, providing guidance on density estimation, and finally, promote collaborative, open networks develop monitoring, initially focusing terrestrial wild mammals. This report presents estimates species that are widely distributed (wild boar (Sus scrofa), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red (Cervus elaphus)) by...
ABSTRACT The effect of three different periods storage life (0, 15 and 30 days) on the microbiological quality several foods elaborated with sous vide cook–chill procedure in a restaurant was studied. These are grouped categories: meat (breast chicken, foie gras, pork loin entrecote veal), fish (codfish, gilt head sea bream, hake salmon) vegetable (broccoli, courgette, potato carrot). Total plate counts products studied were range <1.00–3.74 log10 cfu/g. Coagulase negative staphylococci...
We have established the chemical structure of (+)-bassianolone (3), antimicrobial compound precursor cephalosporolides E and F, that furan metabolite 4 from entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana.
Transglutaminase activity, which forms the interpeptidic cross-link N ϵ-(γ-glutamyl)-lysine, was demonstrated in cell-free extracts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by incorporation [14C]lysine into an exogenous acceptor, N,N′-dimethylcasein. Higher levels activity were present cell wall, also contained endogenous acceptors. The enzyme wall inhibited cystamine, a known inhibitor transglutaminase, and EDTA, indicating cation-dependent activity. After acceptors labelled radioactively extraction...
The organization of the components cell wall from Candida albicans was studied by means sequential treatment with hot SDS, anhydrous ethylenediamine (EDA) and lytic enzymes, followed chemical microscopic analyses different separated fractions. EDA-insoluble fraction retained original morphology wall, which destroyed β-glucanase, but not chitinase treatments. Staining fluorescent lectins revealed distinct distributions mannoproteins, glucans chitin in wall. Amino acid analysis SDS-extracted...
Summary Soil quality determination requires the analysis of a number soil attributes using different approaches. In recent years, one most promising approaches has been enzymatic activities. Generally, only few enzymes have analysed and related to other properties such as total carbon, nitrogen content or microbial biomass carbon. The aim this work was investigate possible use API ZYM strip, semi‐quantitative miniaturized system that determines 19 activities, study quality. To end, we tested...
Mild alkaline solutions (beta-elimination), after removing the non-covalently bonded wall materials by hot SDS, released 13% and 26% of remaining proteins from mycelial yeast cells Candida albicans, respectively. When beta-elimination was carried out digestion walls with chitinase, four-fold more proteinaceous were mycelium a similar amount in walls. The solubilized shown to be highly polydisperse, endo-glycosidase H reduced their polydispersity molecular masses, revealing different...
<b>Introduction:</b> Helping chronic patients to accelerate mucus clearance could improve their quality of life. This randomised crossover trial evaluates the short-term effects combining oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) with hypertonic saline (HS) nebulization on sputum and cough impact in cystic fibrosis (CF). <b>Methods:</b> 19 stable CF (mean age 24.2(7.6)<i>yrs</i>, FEV<sub>1</sub>70.8(24.3)<i>%pred.</i>) consecutively performed2 treatment modalitiesin random order, each...
Campylobacter is a major foodborne pathogen and its antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been described worldwide. The main objective of this study was to determine the occurrence AMR spp. isolated from broilers throughout supply chain in Valencia, Spain. A total 483 samples were included analysis: 430 slaughterhouse (chicken carcass neck skin) 53 point sale (retail broiler packaging). Taking into account origin sample, prevalence 19% carcass, 28.2% skin, 36.7% retail broiler, 80% packaging...
Mutagenesis of Candida albicans strain ATCC 26555 with N-methyl-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine followed by plating on solid yeast nitrogen base-N-acetylglucosamine medium at 37°C yielded colony morphology variants that were characterized as forming smooth colonies, in contrast to the rough colonies formed parental strain. One monomorphic mutant, CAL4, was studied detail. Strain CAL4 is defective filamentous growth, unable form hyphae or pseudohyphae vivo and vitro. These structures are not...
<b>Background:</b> Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic and multisystem disease in which respiratory physiotherapy (RP) has revealed as one of the main pillars treatment. <b>Aim:</b> This study was aimed at assessing convergent validity internal consistency new instrument (CAP-FISIO questionnaire) to measure adherence perception RP patients with CF. In addition, we inquired into correlation CAP-FISIO questionnaire outcomes degrees self-efficacy coping patients. <b>Methods:</b> descriptive...
Following synthesis of its individual components, the cell wall Candida albicans is assembled extracellularly in two steps. First, a viscoelastic composite formed by noncovalent interactions between mannoproteins and other components. Second, initial network consolidated formation covalent cross-linkages among polymers. In both processes, specific proteins may regulate final yeast or mycelial morphology. These might carry out part what could be called morphogenetic code. Experimental results...
