Abstract:
... Clostridioides difficile produces toxins TcdA and TcdB during infection. Since the severity of the illness is directly correlated with the level of toxins produced, researchers have long been interested in the regulation mechanisms of toxin production. The advent of new genetics and mutagenesis technologies in C. difficile has allowed a slew of new investigations in the last decade, which consider ...

Abstract:
... Autophagy‐related gene (Atg) proteins are key players in autophagy. Some proteins that function in vesicle trafficking and lipid metabolism are also involved in autophagy. The SPO14 in yeast, which encodes phospholipase D (PLD), is involved in membrane trafficking and plays a vital role in sporulation during meiosis. Crosstalk has been identified between autophagy and sporulation. Although the PLD ...

Abstract:
... Deviations in linearity in survival curves are common in inactivation kinetics during heat treatment. These might lead one to underestimate how effective thermal treatment is. In previous research we reported a relationship between decimal reduction time values (DT) and shoulder lengths (Sl) of survival curves which was characteristic of each microorganism. However, the impact of other factors suc ...
