A sensitive and versatile electrochemical sensor based on hybridization chain reaction and CRISPR/Cas12a system for antibiotic detection
Anal Chim Acta. 2024 May 22;1304:342562. doi: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342562. Epub 2024 Mar 30.ABSTRACTA sensitive electrochemical platform was constructed with NH2-Cu-MOF as electrochemical probe to detect antibiotics using CRISPR/Cas12a system triggered by hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The sensing system consists of two HCR systems. HCR1 occurred on the electrode surface independent of the target, generating long dsDNA to connect signal probes and producing a strong electrochemical signal. HCR2 was triggered by target, and the resulting dsDNA products activated the CRISPR/Cas12a, thereby resulting in effective and rapid...

A novel self-enhanced ECL-RET aptasensor based on the bimetallic MOFs with homogeneous catalytic sites for kanamycin detection
In this study, we designed a new type of porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (Fe TCPP(Zn) MOFs) with homogeneous catalytic sites. The ferric-based metal ligands of Fe TCPP(Zn) MOFs acted as co-reaction accelerators, which effectively improved the conversion efficiency of H2O2 on the surface of MOFs, then increased the concentration of •OH surrounding porphyrin molecules to achieve self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL). Based on this, an aptasensor for the specific detection of kanamycin (KAN) in food and environmental water samples was constructed in combination with resonance energy transform (RET), in which Fe TC...

A smartphone-based diagnostic analyzer for point-of-care milk somatic cell counting
Anal Chim Acta. 2024 May 22;1304:342540. doi: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342540. Epub 2024 Apr 3.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Mastitis, a pervasive and detrimental disease in dairy farming, poses a significant challenge to the global dairy industry. Monitoring the milk somatic cell count (SCC) is vital for assessing the incidence of mastitis and the quality of raw cow's milk. However, existing SCC detection methods typically require large-scale instruments and specialized operators, limiting their application in resource-constrained settings such as dairy farms and small-scale labs. To address these limitations, this study introduces a nov...

The infant gut microbiota as the cornerstone for future gastrointestinal health
Adv Appl Microbiol. 2024;126:93-119. doi: 10.1016/bs.aambs.2024.02.001. Epub 2024 Feb 19.ABSTRACTThe early postnatal period represents a critical window of time for the establishment and maturation of the human gut microbiota. The gut microbiota undergoes dramatic developmental changes during the first year of life, being influenced by a variety of external factors, with diet being a major player. Indeed, the introduction of complementary feeding provides novel nutritive substrates and triggers a shift from milk-adapted gut microbiota toward an adult-like bacterial composition, which is characterized by an enhancement in d...

Regulation of lactose, glucose and sucrose metabolisms in S. thermophilus
Food Microbiol. 2024 Aug;121:104487. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2024.104487. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTStreptococcus thermophilus is a bacterium widely used in the production of yogurts and cheeses, where it efficiently ferments lactose, the saccharide naturally present in milk. It is also employed as a starter in dairy- or plant-based fermented foods that contain saccharides other than lactose (e.g., sucrose, glucose). However, little is known about how saccharide use is regulated, in particular when saccharides are mixed. Here, we determine the effect of the 5 sugars that S. thermophilus is able to use, at different concentration ...

Bacterial proteome adaptation during fermentation in dairy environments
Food Microbiol. 2024 Aug;121:104514. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2024.104514. Epub 2024 Mar 2.ABSTRACTThe enzymatic repertoire of starter cultures belonging to the Lactococcus genus determines various important characteristics of fermented dairy products but might change in response to the substantial environmental changes in the manufacturing process. Assessing bacterial proteome adaptation in dairy and other food environments is challenging due to the high matrix-protein concentration and is even further complicated in particularly cheese by the high fat concentrations, the semi-solid state of that matrix, and the non-growing stat...

Emerging Trends in Bioavailability and Pharma-Nutraceutical Potential of Whey Bioactives
J Nutr Metab. 2024 Apr 10;2024:8455666. doi: 10.1155/2024/8455666. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTWhey, a component of milk and a useful by-product of the dairy industry's casein and cheese-making, has been used for generations to augment animal feed. It contains a range of proteins, including α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin, heavy and light chain immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, glycomacropeptide, and lactoperoxidase. Whey proteins exhibit great potential as biopolymers for creating bioactive delivery systems owing to their distinct health-enhancing characteristics and the presence of numerous amino acid gro...
