Staphylococcal food poisoning results from ingestion of enterotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcal enterotoxin D (SED) is one of the most common toxins detected in S. aureus strains associated with intoxications. The effect of sodium nitrite on enterotoxin production has been only partly investigated, despite its wide usage in meat products. In addition, the factors influencing

We aim to obtain a fast overview of the HTA question and to refine-specify the PICO for information retrieval, using bibliometrics, text mining, and vizualization tools. The PICO question is a well-established format within the HTA process. Depending on the HTA question the PICO can be difficult to verify and limit. To support the HTA-project groups and the informaton specialistst to establish the

The extreme soil conditions in metalliferous mine soils have a negative influence on soil biological activity. Therefore, amendments are often used to improve soil quality and activate microbial communities. In order to elucidate some of the factors controlling microbial growth and community structure after application of amendments in acid mine soils, we performed an incubation experiment with fo

The growth of ultrathin TiOx (0≤x≤2) films on Pd(100) and Pd(111) surfaces by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using Titanium(IV)isopropoxide (TTIP) as precursor, has been investigated by high resolution photoelectron spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy. Three different TiOx phases and one Pd-Ti alloy phase have been identified for both surfaces. The Pd-

In its fifty-year history, the German national research laboratory DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, German Electron Synchrotron) has undergone a gradual transformation from a single-mission particle physics laboratory to a multi-mission research center for accelerator physics, particle physics, and photon science. The last is an umbrella term for research using synchrotron radiation and, in

Thylakoid membranes derived from green leaf chloroplasts affect appetite-regulating hormones, suppress food intake, reduce blood lipids and lead to a decreased body weight in animals and human subjects. Thylakoids also decrease the intestinal in vitro uptake of methyl-glucose in the rat. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary thylakoids on the gut microbiota composition, ma
