alicyclobacillus guaiacol detection

GENE-UP PRO ACB - Development of a Single Test to Detect Alicyclobacillus Species and Guaiacol Producing Strains

The partnership with Cornell University led to the development of GENE-UP® PRO ACB assay, a PCR multiplex method with a 24-hour enrichment. The assay targets Alicyclobacillus species on the FAM channel and predicts the ability of the species to produce guaiacol on the Cy5 channel. GENE-UP PRO ACB is therefore replacing two tests into one and provides results in 27 hours.

Understand the essentials in 2 minutes: pathogen mapping

Among the solutions offered by bioMérieux's disruptive Augmented Diagnostics approach, manufacturers can count on pathogen mapping. This solution starts with the sampling of a persistent pathogenic bacterium and seeks to characterize it through genomics. In other words, decipher its DNA profile and understanding how it works. A highly effective solution.

Genetically modified microorganisms for routine methods quality control

According to ISO/IEC 17025, testing laboratories should ensure they operate competently and are able to generate valid results. Implementation of Quality Control or Verification of methods requires the use of strains. Genetically Modified Microorganisms (GMM) (e.g., GFP tagged organisms) offer a less risky approach minimizing the impact of cross contamination events securing laboratory results.

BIOBALL® LUMINATE 2.0 brings precision, accuracy and innovation to food industrials to ensure microorganism quality control in their products. Bacteria, along with fungi and virus, are the top 1 enemy of food industrials. When they contaminate food products, consequences can be catastrophic for both consumers and industrials. Even if regulations are increasingly strict, food safety scandals regularly break the news, thus reducing the confidence of consumers in food products found on supermarket shelves.

BIOBALL

Which QC strains to use for minimizing risk of false positives due to cross-contamination in a lab?

The use of traceable culture collection strains, including pathogenic ones, is necessary in food as well as water and environmental laboratories for various applications, including: • Daily or regular Quality Control (QC) of methods, mandatory for accredited labs • Performance testing of culture media and reagents • Verification and in-house validation of methods (e.g., according to ISO 16140-3) However, the use of (pathogenic) strains, which often require culture and inoc ulum preparations, can lead to cross-contamination of routine samples.

Performance Evaluation of GENE-UP NUTRAPLEX PRO on Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements

Rapid methods such as PCR have been making in-roads into the routine nutraceutical and dietary supplements testing, the potential of multiplex PCR for routine detection of multiple pathogens has yet to be ascertained. The diversity and ever-growing list of matrices in these industries further exacerbates the challenges for such methods and thereby the method compatibility should be reviewed with the adoption of new technology.

Part 1 - Beer Spoilers

From a human safety aspect, historically beer was always considered a safe drink (compared to water) in that pathogens were not found in beer. This is in part thanks not only because the wort is boiled in the kettle but also due to the level of alcohol, hop resins and a low pH. That said, certain microbial contaminants, the so called “beer spoilers” can propagate in beer and be responsible for off-flavours, acids and non-desirable aromas as well as hazy beers.

Family shares a meal together at a table

Part 2 - Beer Spoilers

Definition: Beer Spoilers are microorganisms that can change the flavour, aroma, or appearance of beer in a manner deemed undesirable by the brewer (and the consumer!!). Although there is some overlap, brewers seek to divide spoilage organisms into the categories of “beer spoilers” and “wort spoilers,” with the latter largely inhibited by alcohol, pH, and/or the anaerobic environment created by yeast fermentation (Priest 2003).

Family shares a meal together at a table

Part 3 - Beer Spoilers

All breweries, as part of their microbial plan, aspire to curb the number of opportunities that beer spoilers, essentially bacteria or yeast, have to enter their establishments. As part of a brewery’s Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan, the brewer needs to identify the different sources of contamination in his/her establishment and try to prevent access of the microbes.

All beer spoiler microorganisms possess DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) which contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. While in animals, plants and yeasts the DNA is contained in the cell nucleus, in bacteria the DNA is present in their cytoplasm (the material within a cell, enclosed by the cell membrane).

In addition to the physico-chemical parameters that you will be probably already monitoring in your quality control laboratory, setting up a brewery microbiology quality control capability in your laboratory is critical in answering these questions.
