[PMID: 38945629 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Various pathogens have the ability to grow on food matrices and instruments. This grow may reach to form biofilms. Bacterial biofilms are community of microorganisms embedded in extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) containing lipids, DNA, proteins, and polysaccharides. These EPSs provide a tolerance and favorable living condition for microorganisms. Biofilm formations could not only contribute a risk for food safety but also have negative impacts on healthcare sector. Once biofilms form, they reveal resistances to traditional detergents and disinfectants, leading to cross-contamination. Inhibition of biofilms formation and abolition of mature biofilms is the main target for controlling of biofilm hazards in the food industry. Some novel eco-friendly technologies such as ultrasound, ultraviolet, cold plasma, magnetic nanoparticles, different chemicals additives as vitamins, D-amino acids, enzymes, antimicrobial peptides, and many other inhibitors provide a significant value on biofilm inhibition. These anti-biofilm agents represent promising tools for food industries and researchers to interfere with different phases of biofilms including adherence, quorum sensing molecules, and cell-to-cell communication. This perspective review highlights the biofilm formation mechanisms, issues associated with biofilms, environmental factors influencing bacterial biofilm development, and recent strategies employed to control biofilm-forming bacteria in the food industry. Further studies are still needed to explore the effects of biofilm regulation in food industries and exploit more regulation strategies for improving the quality and decreasing economic losses.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen that causes listeriosis, a severe and fatal condition. Biofilms are communities of microorganisms nested within a self-secreted extracellular polymeric substance, and they protect L. monocytogenes from environmental stresses. Biofilms, once formed, can lead to the persistence of L. monocytogenes in processing equipment and are therefore considered to be a major concern for the food industry. This paper briefly introduces the recent advancements on biofilm formation characteristics and detection methods, and focuses on analysis of the mechanism of L. monocytogenes biofilm resistance; Moreover, this paper also summarizes and discusses the existing different techniques of L. monocytogenes biofilm control according to the physical, chemical, biological, and combined strategies, to provide a theoretical reference to aid the choice of effective control technology in the food industry.

Abstract
Ultrasonic treatment is widely used for surface cleaning of vegetables in the processing of agricultural products. In the present study, the molecular and proteomic response of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilm cultured on lettuce was investigated after ultrasound treatment at different intensity levels. The results show that the biofilm was efficiently removed after ultrasound treatment with intensity higher than 21.06 W/cm2. However, at an intensity of less than 18.42 W/cm2, P. fluorescens was stimulated by ultrasound leading to promoted bacterial growth, extracellular protease activity, extracellular polysaccharide secretion (EPS), and synthesis of acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum-sensing signaling molecules. The expression of biofilm-related genes, stress response, and dual quorum sensing system was upregulated during post-treatment ultrasound. Proteomic analysis showed that ultrasound activated proteins in the flagellar system, which led to changes in bacterial tendency; meanwhile, a large number of proteins in the dual-component system began to be regulated. ABC transporters accelerated the membrane transport of substances inside and outside the cell membrane and equalized the permeability conditions of the cell membrane. In addition, the expression of proteins related to DNA repair was upregulated, suggesting that bacteria repair damaged DNA after ultrasound exposure.

Efficacy of combined caprylic acid and thymol treatments for inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes on enoki mushrooms in household and food-service establishments. Food Res Int 2023; 166:112601. [PMID: 36914348 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
Raw enoki mushroom is a high-risk vector for listeriosis, which led to foodborne outbreaks resulting in four deaths in the United States in 2020. This study aimed to investigate the washing method for the inactivation of L. monocytogenes in enoki mushrooms for household and food service establishments. Five methods of washing fresh agricultural products without using disinfectants were selected: (1) rinsing under running water (2 L/min, 10 min), (2-3) dipping in water (200 ml/20 g) at 22 or 40 °C for 10 min, and using (4) 10% NaCl or (5) 5% vinegar at 22 °C for 10 min. The antibacterial efficacy of each washing method along with the final rinse was tested with enoki mushrooms inoculated with a 3-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes (ATCC 19111, 19115, 19117; ca. 6 log CFU/g). The 5% vinegar showed a significant difference in antibacterial effect compared to the other treatments except 10% NaCl (P < 0.05), with the maximum elimination of L. monocytogenes by 1.23 log CFU/g. Therefore, a disinfectant for enoki mushrooms that can complement the commonly used washing method was developed using antimicrobials (caprylic acid, CA: 0, 0.20, 0.40%; thymol, TM: 0, 0.075, 0.15%). By combined treatment of 0.40% CA and 0.15% TM at 22 °C for 10 min, L. monocytogenes was completely inactivated (>5.55 log reduction CFU/g) and did not recover after enrichment, although individual treatments of antimicrobials showed low bactericidal effects of <1.50 log reduction CFU/g. The bacterial membrane disintegration induced by the disinfectant was analyzed through flow cytometry. Additionally, the sensory scores (odor and appearance) and color parameters (L*, a*, and b*) of enoki mushrooms treated with the disinfectant were not significantly different from those of enoki mushrooms washed with water (P > 0.05). Our findings suggest a washing disinfectant consisting of low concentrations of CA and TM with synergistic antibacterial effects without quality deterioration that can ensure the safe consumption of raw enoki mushrooms in homes and food service establishments.

Abstract
The influence of ultrasound combined with sodium hypochlorite (US-NaClO) treatment on microorganisms and quality of fresh-cut cucumber during storage were investigated. Ultrasound (400 W, 40 kHz, US: 5, 10 and 15 min) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO: 50, 75, 100 ppm) were used to treat fresh-cut cucumber in a single or combined treatment and stored at 4 °C for 8 days and analyzed for texture, color and flavor. The results showed that US-NaClO treatment had a synergistic effect on the inhibition of microorganisms during storage. It could significantly reduce (p < 0.05) the number of microorganisms by 1.73 to 2.17 log CFU/g. In addition, US-NaClO treatment reduced the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) during storage (4.42 nmol/g) and water mobility, and maintained the integrity of the cell membrane, delayed the increase of weight loss (3.21%), reduced water loss, thus slowing down the decline of firmness (9.20%) of fresh-cut cucumber during storage. The degradation of chlorophyll (6.41%) was reduced to maintain the color of freshly cut cucumbers. At the same time, US-NaClO could maintain the content of aldehydes, the main aromatic substance of cucumber, and reduced the content of alcohols and ketones during storage. Combined with the electronic nose results, it could maintain the cucumber flavor at the end of the storage period and reduce the odor produced by microorganisms. Overall, US-NaClO was helpful to inhibit the growth of microorganisms during storage, improve the quality of fresh-cut cucumber.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in using green technologies in the food industry. As a green processing technique, ultrasound has a great potential to be applied in many food applications. In this review, the basic mechanism of ultrasound processing technology has been discussed. Then, ultrasound technology was reviewed from the application of assisted food processing methods, such as assisted gelation, assisted freezing and thawing, assisted crystallization, and other assisted applications. Moreover, ultrasound was reviewed from the aspect of structure and property modification technology, such as modification of polysaccharides and fats. Furthermore, ultrasound was reviewed to facilitate beneficial food reactions, such as glycosylation, enzymatic cross-linking, protein hydrolyzation, fermentation, and marination. After that, ultrasound applications in the food safety sector were reviewed from the aspect of the inactivation of microbes, degradation of pesticides, and toxins, as well inactivation of some enzymes. Finally, the applications of ultrasound technology in food waste disposal and environmental protection were reviewed. Thus, some sonoprocessing technologies can be recommended for the use in the food industry on a large scale. However, there is still a need for funding research and development projects to develop more efficient ultrasound devices.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes, a causative agent of listeriosis, is a major foodborne pathogen. Among pathogens, L. monocytogenes stands out for its unique ecological and physiological characteristics. This distinct lifestyle of L. monocytogenes has a significant impact on food safety and public health, mainly through the ability of this pathogen to multiply at refrigeration temperature and to persist in the food processing environment. Due to a combination of these characteristics and emerging trends in consumer preference for ready-to-eat and minimally processed food, there is a need to develop effective and sustainable approaches to control contamination of food products with L. monocytogenes. Implementation of an efficient and reliable control strategy for L. monocytogenes must first address the problem of cross-contamination. Besides the preventive control strategies, cross-contamination may be addressed with the introduction of emerging post packaging non-thermal or thermal hurdles that can ensure delivery of a listericidal step in a packed product without interfering with the organoleptic characteristics of a food product. This review aims to present the most relevant findings underlying the distinct lifestyle of L. monocytogenes and its impact on food safety. We also discuss emerging food decontamination technologies that can be used to better control L. monocytogenes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to prolong the storage and inhibit microorganisms of pakchoi, the antibacterial activity and mechanism of ultrasound combined with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO-US), the efficiency of NaClO-US in reducing Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as preserving quality of pakchoi were investigated. RESULTS Ultrasound treatment could significantly reduce the usage of NaClO solution from 800 ppm to 500 ppm. NaClO-US decreased the counts of E. coli, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, which disrupted the bacterial cell membrane with cytoplasmic leakage. In addition, NaClO-US significantly increased cell membrane permeability, while cell membrane integrity decreased, the secondary structure of bacterial proteins showed several obvious changes, such as the increase of random coil content, as well as the decrease of α-helix content. The bacterial counts, E. coli, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa population in pakchoi treated with NaClO-US reduced by 1.89, 1.40, 1.60, 1.72 log CFU g-1 , respectively compared to control sample after storage for 15 days. NaClO-US resulted in minimum chlorophyll depletion, flavor and sensory deterioration. CONCLUSION NaClO-US solution treatment inhibited microorganisms and prolonged storage of pakchoi. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
We investigated the synergistic antimicrobial activity of erythorbyl laurate (EL) and mild heating co-treatment on the Gram-positive Listeria innocua and Gram-negative Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteria. EL (2 mM) and mild heating (55 °C for 3 min) resulted in 3.1 and 0.5 log colony forming units (CFU)/mL reductions in the number of L. innocua, respectively, compared to a 6.4 log CFU/mL reduction induced by the combined treatment of EL and mild heating in saline. EL (10 mM) and mild heating (55 °C for 3 min) resulted in 1.3 and 0.7 log CFU/mL reductions in the number of E. coli O157:H7, respectively, compared to a 6.2 log CFU/mL reduction with the combined treatment in saline. EL, a membrane-active compound, showed a strong synergistic effect with mild heating, possibly due to enhanced disruption of the bacterial cell membrane. The synergistic antibacterial effect was evaluated using inoculated English peas (Pisum sativum) and this combined treatment (2 mM EL and mild heating against L. innocua and 10 mM EL and mild heating against E. coli O157:H7) resulted in more than 7 log reductions in the numbers of L. innocua and E. coli O157:H7, inoculated on the surface of fresh peas. The treatments did not show significant difference in the color or texture of treated peas compared to the non-treated controls. This is the first report illustrating synergistic activity of EL and mild heating for both the gram positive (L. innocua) and the gram negative (E. coli O157:H7) bacteria on food. Overall, this research will illustrate the development of more effective and rapid antibacterial surface disinfection method for application in the processing of minimally processed foods.

In vitro and in silico approaches to investigate antimicrobial and biofilm removal efficacies of combined ultrasonic and mild thermal treatment against Pseudomonas fluorescens. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2022; 83:105930. [PMID: 35114554 PMCID: PMC8818575 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.105930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
A combined ultrasonic and thermal (US-TM) treatment was developed in this study to achieve a high efficacy of P. fluorescens biofilm control. The present study demonstrated that combined a moderate ultrasound treatment (power ≥ 80 W) and a mild heat (up to 50 °C) largely destroyed biofilm structure in 15 min and removed>65.63% of biofilm from a glass slide where cultivated the P. fluorescens biofilm. Meanwhile, the viable cell count was decreased from 10.72 to 6.48 log10CUF/mL. Differences in biofilm removal and lethal modes of US-TM treatment were confirmed through microscopies analysis in vitro. The ultrasound first contributed to releasing the bacteria in the biofilm to the environment and simultaneously exposing inner bacteria at the deep layer of biofilm depending on shear force, shock waves, acoustic streaming, etc. When the biofilm structure was destroyed, US-TM treatment would synergistically inactivate P. fluorescens cells. In silico studies adopted COMSOL to simulate acoustic pressure and temperature distribution in the bioreactor; both of them were significantly influenced by various factors, such as input power, sonotrode position, materials and volume of container, etc. Facing the biofilm issue existing on the surface of container, boundary conditions were exported and thereby pointing out potential "dead ends" where the ultrasound may not be effectively transduced. Both in vitro and in silico results may inspire the food industry to adopt US-TM treatment to achieve biofilm control.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important foodborne pathogen with high biofilm-forming ability, which is continuously detected in food products in recent years. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities and mechanism of ultrasonication in combination with heat treatment against K. pneumoniae were studied. K. pneumoniae planktonic and biofilm cells were treated with ultrasound (US), mild heat treatment (HT50, HT60, and HT70), and combinations of US and mild heat treatment (UH50, UH60, and UH70) for 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 min. Results showed that the combination of US and mild heat treatment was more effective in inactivating K. pneumoniae planktonic and biofilm cells than the single treatment by counting viable bacteria. In addition, confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and analysis of leakage of intracellular substances have revealed that the combination treatment effectively damaged the integrity of bacterial cell membrane and increased cell permeability, which led to the quick release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and macromolecular substances of nucleic acids and proteins. Moreover, the activities of respiratory chain dehydrogenase in planktonic and biofilm cells significantly decreased after UH treatment. The results indicated that ultrasonication and mild heat treatment had a synergistic effect on the inactivation of K. pneumoniae planktonic and biofilm cells by damaging the cell membrane and inhibiting intercellular cell respiration.

Abstract
This study evaluated efficacy of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) on controlling or stimulating Staphylococcus aureus biofilm. Acoustic pressure distribution on the surface of glass slide cultivated S. aureus biofilm was first simulated as a standardized parameter to reflect sono-effect. When the power of HIU was 240 W with acoustic pressure of -1.38×105 Pa, a reasonably high clearance rate of S. aureus biofilm was achieved (96.02%). As an all-or-nothing technique, the HIU did not cause sublethal or injury of S. aureus but inactivate the cell directly. A further evaluation of HIU-induced stimulation of biofilm was conducted at a low power level (i.e. 60 W with acoustic pressure of -6.91×104 Pa). The low-power-long-duration HIU treatment promoted the formation of S. aureus biofilm and enhanced its resistance as proved by transcriptional changes of genes in S. aureus, including up-regulations of rbf, sigB, lrgA, icaA, icaD, and down-regulation of icaR. These results indicate that the choose of input power is determined during the HIU-based cleaning and processing. Otherwise, the growth of S. aureus and biofilm formation are stimulated when treats by an insufficiently high power of HIU.

Abstract
Sanicip Bio Control (SBC) is a novel product developed in Mexico for biofilms’ removal. The aims of this study were to evaluate (i) the removal of mixed-species biofilms by enzymatic (protease and α-amylase, 180 MWU/g) and chemical treatments (30 mL/L SBC, and 200 mg/L peracetic acid, PAA) and (ii) their effectiveness against planktonic cells. Mixed-species biofilms were developed on stainless steel (SS) and polypropylene B (PP) in whole milk (WM), tryptic soy broth (TSB) with meat extract (TSB+ME), and TSB with chicken egg yolk (TSB+EY) to simulate the food processing environment. On SS, all biofilms were removed after treatments, except the enzymatic treatment that only reduced 1–2 log10 CFU/cm2, whereas on PP, the reductions ranged between 0.59 and 5.21 log10 CFU/cm2, being the biofilms developed in TSB+EY being resistant to the cleaning and disinfecting process. Higher reductions in microbial load on PP were reached using enzymes, SBC, and PAA. The employed planktonic cells were markedly more sensitive to PAA and SBC than were the sessile cells. In conclusion, biofilm removal from SS can be achieved with SBC, enzymes, or PAA. It is important to note that the biofilm removal was strongly affected by the food contact surfaces (FCSs) and surrounding media.

Abstract
Background XP-Endo Finisher (XPF) and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) are commonly used in intracanal medicament removal. The effectiveness of these two techniques needs to be compared, and evidence-based research should be conducted. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar up to December 20th, 2020. The outcomes of the included trials were pooled into the Cochrane Collaboration’s Review Manager 5.3 software. Cochrane’s risk-of-bias tool 2.0 was applied to assess the risk of bias. Results Nine articles were included in this systematic review and processed for data extraction, and eight studies were identified for meta-analysis. In general, the use of PUI showed better medicament removal effectiveness than XPF (odds ratio [OR]: 3.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.96–4.86; P < 0.001). PUI was also significantly more efficient than XPF in the apical third (OR: 3.42; 95% CI, 1.32–8.84; P = 0.01). For trials using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) alone, PUI was also significantly more effective than XPF on intracanal medicaments removal (OR: 5.23; 95% CI, 2.79–9.82; P < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference between PUI and XPF when NaOCl and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were used in combination (OR: 1.51; 95% CI, 0.74–3.09; P = 0.26). In addition, for studies whose intracanal medicament periods were two weeks, the effectiveness of PUI was statistically better than the XPF (OR: 7.73; 95% CI, 3.71–16.07; P < 0.001). Nevertheless, for trials whose intracanal medicament time was one week or over two weeks, no differences between the XPF and PUI were found (OR: 1.54; 95% CI, 0.74–3.22; P = 0.25) (OR: 1.42; 95% CI, 0.44–4.61; P = 0.56). Conclusions The meta-analysis is the first study to quantitatively compare the effectiveness of XPF and PUI techniques on intracanal medicaments removal. With rigorous eligibility criteria, the study only included high-quality randomised controlled trials. The study indicated that PUI might be superior over XPF techniques for removing intracanal medicaments from artificial standardized grooves and cavities in the root canal system. The anatomical areas, irrigation protocol, and intracanal medicaments time may influence the cleaning efficacy.

Abstract
Biofilms are multicellular communities of microorganisms held together by a self-produced extracellular matrix, which contribute to hygiene problems in the food and medical fields. Both spoilage and pathogenic bacteria that grow in the complex structure of biofilm are more resistant to harsh environmental conditions and conventional antimicrobial agents. Therefore, it is important to develop eco-friendly preventive methodologies to eliminate biofilms from foods and food contact equipment. The present paper gives an overview of the current physical methods for biofilm control and removal. Current physical strategies adopted for the anti-biofilm treatment mainly focused on use of ultrasound power, electric or magnetic field, plasma, and irradiation. Furthermore, the mechanisms of anti-biofilm action and application of different physical methods are discussed. Physical strategies make it possible to combat biofilm without the use of biocidal agents. The remarkable microbiocidal properties of physical strategies are promising tools for antimicrobial applications.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of sweep frequency ultrasound (SFUS), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and their combinations (SFUS + NaOCl) in reducing and inhibiting natural microbiota as well as preserving quality of fresh-cut Chinese cabbage during storage (4 °C and 25 °C) for up to 7 days was investigated. In effect, 40 kHz sweep frequency ultrasound in combination with 100 mg/L sodium hypochlorite resulted in maximum reduction and inhibition of mesophilic counts, yeast and molds and minimum chlorophyll depletion, weight loss and electrolyte leakage. However, colour and textural characteristics deteriorated. The combined treatment suppressed the activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase and manifested its preservative effect after Fourier Transform near-infrared spectroscopy analysis. Synergistic reductions were recorded in most of the combined treatments though largely <1.0 log CFU/g. Specifically, the combined treatment significantly (P < 0.05) reduced mesophilic counts by an added 2.7 log CFU/g, yeasts and molds by an added 2.0 log CFU/g when compared to the individual treatments. During storage at 4 and 25 °C, washing with SFUS + NaOCl produced Chinese cabbage with lower microbial counts, in comparison with the individual treatments. However, post-treatment storage could not entirely inhibit microbial survival as populations increased during storage even at refrigeration temperature of 4 °C. The results demonstrate that ultrasound and sodium hypochlorite are promising hurdle alternatives for the reduction and inhibition of microorganisms, as well as prolonging the shelf life and retaining the quality characteristics of Chinese cabbage.

Kinetics of biofilm formation by pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms under conditions that mimic the poultry, meat, and egg processing industries. Int J Food Microbiol 2019; 303:32-41. [PMID: 31129476 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2019.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2018] [Revised: 04/29/2019] [Accepted: 04/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Pathogens and spoilage microorganisms can develop multispecies biofilms on food contact surfaces; however, few studies have been focused on evaluated mixed biofilms of these microorganisms. Therefore this study investigated the biofilm development by pathogenic (Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella enterica Enteritidis and Typhimurium serotypes) and spoilage (Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) microorganisms onto stainless-steel (SS) and polypropylene B (PP) coupons; under conditions that mimic the dairy, meat, and egg processing industry. Biofilms were developed in TSB with 10% chicken egg yolk (TSB + EY), TSB with 10% meat extract (TSB + ME) and whole milk (WM) onto SS and PP. Each tube was inoculated with 25 μL of each bacteria and then incubated at 9 or 25 °C, with enumeration at 1, 48, 120, 180 and 240 h. Biofilms were visualized by epifluorescence and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Biofilm development occurred at different phases, depending on the incubation conditions. In the reversible adhesion, the cell density of each bacteria was between 1.43 and 6.08 Log10 CFU/cm2 (p < 0.05). Moreover, significant reductions in bacteria appeared at 9 °C between 1 and 48 h of incubation. Additionally, the constant multiplication of bacteria in the biofilm occurred at 25 °C between 48 and 180 h of incubation, with increments of 2.08 Log10 CFU/cm2 to S. Typhimurium. Population establishment was observed between 48 and 180 h and 180-240 h incubation, depending on the environmental conditions (25 and 9 °C, respectively). For example, in TSB + ME at 25 °C, S. Typhimurium, P aeruginosa, and L. monocytogenes showed no statistical differences in the amounts between 48 and 180 h incubation. The dispersion phase was identified for L. monocytogenes and B. cereus at 25 °C. Epifluorescence microscopy and SEM allowed visualizing the bacteria and extracellular polymeric substances at the different biofilm stages. In conclusion, pathogens and spoilage microorganisms developed monospecies with higher cellular densities than multiespecies biofilms. In multispecies biofilms, the time to reach each biofilm phase varied is depending on environmental factors. Cell count decrements of 1.12-2.44 Log10 CFU/cm2 occurred at 48 and 240 h and were most notable in the biofilms developed at 9 °C. Additionally, cell density reached by each microorganism was different, P. aeruginosa and Salmonella were the dominant microorganisms in the biofilms while B. cereus showed the lower densities until undetectable levels.

Abstract
Ultrasound combined with sanitizers is efficient for the reduction of microbiological contaminants in fruits and vegetables. However, the physicochemical changes remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the isolated and combined effect of ultrasound (40 kHz, 500 W) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) (100 mg/L) for 5 min in the bacterial microbiota and physicochemical changes on yellow melon (Cucumis melo L.) were evaluated. Mesophilic aerobic bacteria (MAB), pH, total titratable acidity (TTA), and texture profile were performed. No changes in pH and TTA (p>0.05) were obtained. Firmness, chewiness, cohesiveness, and gumminess increased (p<0.05) after the ultrasound application. A synergistic effect between ultrasound and NaOCl in the MAB reduction was achieved. Therefore, ultrasound improves the antimicrobial effect of NaOCl and texture profile without undesirable chemical changes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Removal of pathogens from water is one way to prevent waterborne illness. In this paper, we developed dual functional carbon nanotube (CNT) modified filters for bacterial capture and inactivation, utilizing multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) to coat on commercially available filters and making use of the exceptional adsorption property of CNTs to adsorb a natural antimicrobial peptide-nisin on it. Two types of MWCNTs with different outer layer diameters were used (MWCNTs1: <8 nm in diameter; MWCNTs2: 10-20 nm in diameter). RESULTS The thickness of MWCNT layers, surface morphology, and surface hydrophobicity of both types of MWCNT coated filters were characterized. The MWCNT coating on filters significantly increased the surface hydrophobicity. The absorption of nisin and the capture of bacterial pathogens were correlated with increased surface hydrophobicity. The MWCNTs1 and MWCNTs2 filters with 1.5 mg MWCNTs loading captured 2.44 and 3.88 log of cells, respectively, from aqueous solutions containing a total of ~10(6) CFU/mL cells. Nisin deposit at the amount of 0.5 mg on the surfaces of MWCNT filters significantly reduced the viability of captured B. anthracis cells by 95.71-97.19 %, and inhibited the metabolic activities of the captured cells by approximately 98.3 %. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated that the MWCNT-nisin filters achieved dual functions in bacterial pathogen capture and inhibition in one single filtration step, which is potentially applicable in removing undesired microorganisms from water sources and inhibiting captured Gram positive bacteria activities.
