In vacuum-packaged lamb at pH 5.5 to 6.5 and chilled temps (-1.5 to 7°C), Brochothrix thermosphacta, Serratia proteamaculans, and Rahnella aquatilis grew and caused spoilage over 84 days, contradicting prior beef models. These bacteria, often linked to spoilage, flourished despite low pH conditions, suggesting potential economic and quality implications in the prolonged shipping of vacuum-packed meat. The study reveals how psychrotolerant species, disregarding prior inhibitions, impacted lamb quality under altered storage conditions, urging further research on spoilage in meat microbiology for improved preservation practices

DNA Ligases: Genomic Guardians and Therapeutic Prospects
DNA ligases, essential for genomic stability, repair single- and double-strand breaks in DNA. Human genes LIG1, LIG3, and LIG4 encode ATP-dependent ligases, with unique cellular functions dictated by specific protein interactions. LigI and LigIV operate exclusively in the nucleus, while alternative translation yields mitochondrial and nuclear LigIIIα, along with germ cell-specific LigIIIβ. Interestingly, LigIII’s closer […]
Choosing a journal: Open access or traditional publication?
What is open access publishing? Open access (OA) publishing provides researchers and readers free access to research articles online. In case of OA journals, an article processing fee is levied on the authors after acceptance of the paper. This charge is payable by the researcher, author or the institution the author is affiliated to. However, […]
