SummaryWhen Havarti cheeses were made from milk concentrated 5-fold using ultrafiltration (UF) and with a direct vat set type starter containing Streptococcus lactis, Str. cremoris, Leuconostoc cremoris and Str. lactis subsp. diacetilactis (i.e. a BD-type starter) their colour, texture, body, and flavour were equal to those of traditionally produced Havarti. The somewhat slower flavour development was associated with a retarded breakdown of protein. Although αs1-casein was almost completely broken down in Havarti cheese made with the ultrafiltration method (UF Havarti) and traditional cheeses after 120 d of storage, degradation of β-casein was retarded in UF Havarti. Rennet contents and numbers of starter organisms were similar in the two types of cheese and thus could not explain the difference in ripening rate. Str. lactis subsp. diacetilactis was dominant in both UF and traditional Havarti cheeses when the BD-type starter was used. By varying the composition of the starter, large variations in the bacterial composition and citrate fermentation in UF Havarti cheeses were obtained. The BD-type starter gave the best organoleptic quality.

This study aims to determine the organoleptic quality of liquid food formula made from snail (Pila ampullacea), tempeh, and moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves. The study was conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It involved 25 moderately trained panelists and also 5 trained panelists, who met the criteria. The measured variable was the organoleptic quality, which included aspects of color, texture, taste, and aroma. The formula tested was a powder formula made from the snail, tempeh, and moringa leaves. The proportion of snail flour, tempeh flour, and moringa leaves flour was 50:30:20. It was found that more than 50% of panelists liked the liquid food formula based on color, texture, taste, and aroma. Independent t-test to determine the difference between the organoleptic quality of the two groups showed p = 0.710 for color, p = 0.335 for texture, p = 0.603 for taste, and p = 0.880 for aroma. In conclusion, most of the panelists liked the liquid food formula products made from snail, tempeh, and moringa leaves based on the organoleptic quality result. There was no difference between the organoleptic quality studies of the two groups in the aspect of color, texture, taste, and aroma.

In order to adjust the coffee harvester and to assist in deciding either whether or not to make a second pass of the harvester, fully or selectively, it is necessary to know some crop parameters. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the coffee fruit detachment force in the green and cherry ripeness, under different plant positions and in four evaluation periods, throughout the harvest period between the first and second pass of harvester. The cultivar used was the Catuaí Amarelo IAC 144 aged eight years in spacing 3.8 x 0.9 m. Detachment force was determined by sampling using a portable digital dynamometer. The green ripeness stage showed superior detachment force than the cherry for all evaluation periods. The fruit detachment force for the green and cherry ripeness showed a decreasing behavior during the evaluation period, since the difference between the detachment forces of these fruits increased, thus guiding the type of harvest to be performed. Beyond the fruit detachment force difference, other parameters such as fruit ripening rate and crop load were essential for harvest management. Significant variations were identified in the fruit detachment force positioned in different parts of the coffee tree branches. The results also reinforce the relevance of characterizing the coffee fruit detachment force for harvester adjustments and management of the selective mechanized harvesting.

Abstract Background: Trillions of viruses inhabit the gastrointestinal tract. Some of them have been well-studied on their roles in infection and human health, but the majority remain unsurveyed. It has been established that the composition of the gut virome is highly variable based on the changes of diet, physical state, and environmental factors. However, the effect of host genetic factors, e.g. ethnic origin, on the gut virome is rarely investigated. Results: Here, we characterized and compared the gut virome in a cohort of local Chinese residents and visiting Pakistani individuals, each group containing 24 healthy adults and 6 children. Using metagenomic shotgun sequencing and assembly of fecal samples, a huge number of viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified for profiling the DNA and RNA viromes. National background contributed a primary variation to individuals’ gut virome. Compared with the Chinese adults, the Pakistan adults showed higher macrodiversity and different compositional and functional structures in their DNA virome and lower diversity and altered composition in their RNA virome. The virome variations of Pakistan children were inherited from the that of the adults but also tended to share similar characteristics with the Chinese cohort. We also analyzed and compared the bacterial microbiome between two cohorts and further revealed numerous connections between virus and bacterial host. Statistically, the gut DNA and RNA viromes were covariant to some extent (p<0.001), and they both influenced the holistic bacterial composition and vice versa.Conclusions: we systematically described the baseline gut virome in a well-characterized cohort of Chinese and visiting Pakistanis and demonstrated that the national background contributed a primary variation to gut virome. The mechanisms underlying the difference between two cohorts remain unclear, but the ethnic factor must be proposed and considered in designing future studies of the virome.

Detection of bacterial diversity in whiteleg shrimps and its rearing water is a vital first step in monitoring aquaculture activities. Bacterial community imbalance in whiteleg shrimps and its rearing water influences the quality and quantity of shrimp production. Identifying the bacterial community provides basic information related to dominant bacterial groups in whiteleg shrimps and environments, providing recommendations for proper environmental monitoring and management. In this study, we investigated bacterial community structure in the rearing water and intestinal tract of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) collected from two sites, i.e., Pangkajene, South Sulawesi (SU) and Banyuwangi, East Java (BW), Indonesia. The bacterial community was analyzed using amplicon sequencing with Illumina sequencing platform based on the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA genes. Bacterial diversity and composition were found differed between the rearing water and the shrimps’ intestines. Bacterial diversity in the rearing water of Banyuwangi (W.BW) was higher than that of Pangkajene (W.SU). Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes were found as the most dominant phyla in rearing water from both farms, while distinct bacterial composition was observed in the shrimps’ intestines. The shrimp intestine from Banyuwangi (U.BW) was dominated by Firmicutes (22.36%), Proteobacteria (22.33%), and Verrucomicrobia (21.11%). In contrast, the shrimp intestine from Pangkajene (U.SU) was highly dominated by Tenericutes (88.54%), followed by Proteobacteria (4.66%), and Firmicutes (2.27%). The difference in bacterial community structure between the rearing water and shrimps’ intestines suggested that the host intestinal environment might have greater selective pressure for bacterial composition inhabiting L.vannamei intestines. Our observations suggest that the shrimps cultured in the rearing water with the similar dominant bacterial group have specific intestinal bacterial diversity.

1. Streptococcus lactis cultures were found to vary considerably in their morphological characters when grown in raw and heated milk.2. This variation in morphology was found to be the main cause for the difference in colony counts between inoculated raw milk and milk heated to 70° C. for 1 hr. over a 6 hr. incubation period at 37° C.3. Similar T.M.C.'S on inoculated raw and heated milk during incubation at 37° C. explained why the methylene-blue reduction times were the same.4. It is thought that denaturation of protein may be responsible for the production of short chains in heated milk.5. The by-products of growth of Str. lactis are responsible for the production of short chains in raw milk after a long incubation time at 37° C.

The difference between average densities of the Moon and Earth was interpreted in the preceding report by Professor H. Urey as indicating a difference in their chemical composition. Therefore, Urey assumes the Moon's formation to have taken place far away from the Earth, under conditions differing substantially from the conditions of Earth's formation. In such a case, the Earth should have captured the Moon. As is admitted by Professor Urey himself, such a capture is a very improbable event. In addition, an assumption that the “lunar” dimensions were representative of protoplanetary bodies in the entire solar system encounters great difficulties.

AbstractThe oldest cell-like structures on Earth are preserved in silicified lagoonal, shallow sea or hydrothermal sediments, such as some Archean formations in Western Australia and South Africa. Previous studies concentrated on the search for organic fossils in Archean rocks. Observations of silicified bacteria (as silica minerals) are scarce for both the Precambrian and the Phanerozoic, but reports of mineral bacteria finds, in general, are increasing. The problems associated with the identification of authentic fossil bacteria and, if possible, closer identification of bacteria type can, in part, be overcome by experimental fossilisation studies. These have shown that not all bacteria fossilise in the same way and, indeed, some seem to be very resistent to fossilisation. This paper deals with a transmission electron microscope investigation of the silicification of four species of bacteria commonly found in the environment. The Gram positiveBacillus laterosporusand its spore produced a robust, durable crust upon silicification, whereas the Gram negativePseudomonas fluorescens, Ps. vesicularis, andPs. acidovoranspresented delicately preserved walls. The greater amount of peptidoglycan, containing abundant metal cation binding sites, in the cell wall of the Gram positive bacterium, probably accounts for the difference in the mode of fossilisation. The Gram positive bacteria are, therefore, probably most likely to be preserved in the terrestrial and extraterrestrial rock record.
