Flow cytometry (FC) is a powerful technique for the rapid analysis of single cells in a mixture,
by means of light-scattering and fluorescence measurements. In biotechnology, the power of …

▪ Abstract Disease diagnosis is based on a number of factors, including laboratory tests for
pathogen identification. Rapid development of genomic techniques for characterization of …

During cold storage after milk collection, psychrotrophic bacterial populations dominate the
microflora, and their extracellular enzymes, mainly proteases and lipases, contribute to the …

As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the
literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these …

Food spoilage is a serious global problem, especially in developing countries, because of
inadequate processing and refrigeration facilities. This chapter reviews food spoilage by …

Native bacteria, Pseudomonas and filamentous bacteria were quantified and localized on
wheat roots grown in the field using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Seminal roots …

In order to identify and quantify the microorganisms present in a certain ecosystem, it has
become necessary to develop molecular methods avoiding cultivation, which allows to …

Foodborne pathogens cause millions of infections every year and are responsible for
considerable economic losses worldwide. The current gold standard for the detection of …

Flow cytometry has become a valuable tool in food microbiology. By analysing large
numbers of cells individually using light-scattering and fluorescence measurements, this …

As microbial contamination is persistent within the food and bioindustries and foodborne
infections are still a significant cause of death, the detection, monitoring, and …
