Potential application of lactic acid bacteria in the biopreservation of red grape from mycotoxigenic fungi
2021
Background Filamentous fungi are the main contamination agent in the viticultural sector. Use of synthetic fungicides is the regular answer to these contaminations. Nevertheless, due to several problems associated with the use of synthetic compounds the industry demands new and safer methods. In the present work, the biopreservation potential of four lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains was studied against the principal grape contaminant fungi. Results Agar diffusion test evidenced that all four culture-free supernatant (CFS) had antifungal properties against all tested fungi. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC) test values evidenced that medi…
Evoluzione della microflora durante il processo fermentativo “Sivigliano” di olive da tavola “Nocellara del Belice”
2008
Una lavorazione tipo “Sivigliano” di olive della varietà “Nocellara del Belice”, provenienti da coltura in irriguo e non, è stata sottoposta a monitoraggio chimico-fisico e microbiologico periodico sino al 150° giorno di fermentazione. La tecnologia adottata su tre repliche da 500 Kg ha previsto l’aggiunta di soda a 2,2°Bè a scopo di deamarizzare le olive in bagno alcalino e sei lavaggi sequenziali allo scopo di neutralizzare l’alcalinità, al termine dei quali si è provveduto alla colmatura con salamoia concentrata a 10°Bé. Il monitoraggio del pH e della concentrazione di zuccheri riduttori ha evidenziato il buon andamento del processo fermentativo per entrambe le tesi considerate, sebbene …
Characterization of the CtsR stress response regulon in Lactobacillus plantarum.
2010
ABSTRACT Lactobacillus plantarum ctsR was characterized. ctsR was found to be cotranscribed with clpC and induced in response to various abiotic stresses. ctsR deletion conferred a heat-sensitive phenotype with peculiar cell morphological features. The transcriptional pattern of putative CtsR regulon genes was examined in the Δ ctsR mutant. Direct CtsR-dependent regulation was demonstrated by DNA-binding assays using recombinant CtsR and the promoters of the ctsR - clpC operon and hsp1 .
Reliability of Y-Balance Test y Wight Bearing Lunge Test for the clinical-functional evolution of plantar fasciitis
2018
[Resumen] Objetivos: Los objetivos de nuestro estudio han sido determinar en pacientes con FP unilateral la fiabilidad intraobservador del instrumento Y- Balance Test (YBT) y la prueba Wight Bearing Lunge Test (WBLT) medida con el inclinómetro de un telefono movil inteligente. Métodos: Estudio transversal y observacional, realizado con 16 pacientes (9 mujeres y 7 hombres). Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos revelan una excelente fiabilidad relativa intraobservador. El YBT mostró un CCI de 0’946; mientras que las medidas con inclinómetro obtuvieron un CCI de 0’992. En el YBT se apreció una asociación de variables estadísticamente significativa en la dirección posteromedial (p=0’004) y en e…
Deformidad tipo Checkrein del Hállux y dedos menores del pie sin fractura previa asociada.
2020
espanolPresentamos una revision bibliografica y la descripcion de la tecnica quirurgica en la deformidad tipo Checkrein del hallux y dedos menores del pie. Esta deformidad dinamica provoca a los pacientes una dificultad significativa para caminar y les impide practicar cualquier deporte ya que en la fase de apoyo de la marcha los dedos del pie se ven forzados a una flexion plantar maxima y terminan atrapados debajo del pie. En los casos en que no se asocia a fractura osea la sospecha clinica causante de la lesion es un sindrome compartimental subclinico. El tratamiento descrito en este trabajo consiste en una plastia en Z y la aplicacion de una sutura pulvertaft en el flexor largo del hallu…
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide-Dependent and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide-Independent Lactate Dehydrogenases in Homofermentative and Heterofe…
1971
Three homofermentative ( Lactobacillus plantarum B38, L. plantarum B33, Pediococcus pentosaceus B30) and three heterofermentative ( Leuconostoc mesenteroides 39, L. oenos B70, Lactobacillus brevis ) lactic acid bacteria were examined for the presence or absence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent and NAD-independent d - and l -lactate dehydrogenases. Two of the six strains investigated, P. pentosaceus and L. oenos , did not exhibit an NAD-independent enzyme activity capable of reducing dichlorophenol indophenol. The p H optima of the lactic dehydrogenases were determined. The NAD-dependent enzymes from homofermentative strains exhibited optima at p H 7.8 to 8.8, whereas va…
Dažādu kultivēšanas apstākļu ietekme uz Lactobacillus plantarum rezistenci pret oksidatīvo stresu
2020
Pienskābo baktēriju rezistence pret oksidatīvo stresu, kas cieši atkarīga no šūnu metabolisma, ir ļoti svarīga, lai tās varētu izmantot kā probiotikas. Darba mērķis bija novērtēt oksidatīvā stresa ietekmi uz L. plantarum kultūras enzimātisko aktivitāti pēc tās kultivēšanas dažādos apstākļos un aizsargvielu klātbūtnē. Oksidatīvā stresa ierosināšanai izmantots 1-2 mM H2O2 un 2-50 Gy jonizējošs starojums. Aizsargvielas – sulforafāns (SFA), sulforafēns (SFE). Salīdzinātas De Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) un Tryptone Soya Broth (TSB) barotnes. Barotnes sastāvs ietekmēja baktēriju augšanas kinētikas parametrus un reakciju uz oksidatīvo stresu. 1 μg/ml SFA vai SFE pievienošana kultūrām pirms apstar…
Plantar fascia evaluation with a low-field MRI scanner in weight-bering position: our initial experience in patients with plantar fasciitis and in he…
2009
Purpose: To assess the usefulness of weight-bearing examination of the ankle performed with a low-field MRI scanner in the evaluation of plantar fascia in normal healthy volunteers and in patients with a clinical evidence of plantar fasciitis. Methods and Materials: We retrospectively evaluated ankle MR examinations in two groups of 40 patients each, performed between January and July 2008. Spin echo T1W, Gradient echo T2W, and Short Tau Inversion Recovery (STIR) images were acquired with a 0.2 T scanner (G-Scan, Esaote Biomedica, Genoa, Italy) in both weight-bearing position and normal conventional supine position. A dedicated extremities transmitter/receiver coil was used. The lesion site…

2009
Obiettivo/Introduzione: Dimostrare l’utilità dell’esame sotto carico della caviglia eseguito con una macchina RM dedicata nella valutazione della fascia plantare in volontari sani ed in pazienti con evidenza clinica di fascite plantare. Materiali e Metodi: Due gruppi di 20 soggetti l’uno sono stati studiati mediante esame RM, eseguito nel periodo compreso tra Gennaio e Marzo 2009. Usando una bobina ricevente dedicata, abbiamo acquisito immagini spin echo T1 (SE-T1), 3D-steady state (3D-SSF) e short tau inversion recovery (STIR) mediante macchina RM da 0,25 Tesla (G-Scan, Esaote SpA, Genova, Italia), sia in posizione ortostatica che supina convenzionale. Risultati: In tutti i volontari sani …
Selection of potential probiotic lactobacilli from pig feces to be used as additives in pelleted feeding
2006
Thirty-five isolates from pig feces were identified as Lactobacillus reuteri (12 strains), Lactobacillus mucosae (7), Lactobacillus plantarum (6), Lactobacillus kitasatonis (3), Lactobacillus rossiae (2), Lactobacillus ultunensis (2), Lactobacillus crispatus (2), and Lactobacillus intestinalis (1) by partial sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA. All isolates were detected at 8-9 log CFU g(-1). Preliminarily, strains were selected based on resistance to heat treatments (ca. 70 degrees C for 10 s). The decrease in viability for some L. reuteri, L. mucosae, L. plantarum, L. kitasatonis, and L. rossiae strains was lower than 1 log cycle. Selected strains were further characterized for acid and bil…
