This paper summarises recent trends in predictive modelling of microbial lag phenomena.
The lag phase is approached from both a qualitative and a quantitative point of view. First, a …

Over the last 10 years use of isothermal microcalorimetry in the biological and biomedical
field has been a increasing. Several biomedical applications such as detection and …

Practical Handbook of Microbiology, 4th edition provides basic, clear and concise
knowledge and practical information about working with microorganisms. Useful to anyone …

The objective of this work was to explore the large number of bacterial growth models
recently proposed in the field of predictive microbiology, concerning their capacity to give …

The selection of a primary model to describe microbial growth in predictive food
microbiology often appears to be subjective. The objective of this research was to check the …

A fundamental aspect of predictive microbiology is the shape of the microbial growth curve
and many models are used to fit microbial count data, the modified Gompertz and Baranyi …

Several bacteria use the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) as a sole carbon and
energy source. A cluster of genes (named iac) encoding IAA degradation has been reported …

Lactic acid bacteria are increasingly becoming important dietary supplements due to their
health benefits when consumed in adequate quantity. The increasing attention on these …

Mathematical models taking temperature variations into account are useful in predicting
microbial growth in foods, like meat products, for which Lactobacillus plantarum is a …

Turbidity methods offer possibilities for generating data required for addressing
microorganism variability in risk modeling given that the results of these methods …
