Sampathkumar, Balamurugan, Khachatourians, George G., Korber, Darren R.
Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is now widely used during the processing of poultry and red meats, but the mechanism whereby it inactivates gram-negative bacteria such Salmonella spp. remains unclear....
Carbohydrate Storage in the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana
Bidochka, Michael J., Low, Nicholas H., Khachatourians, George G.
The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana was grown in 1% (wt/vol) gelatin-liquid media singly supplemented with a monosaccharide (glucose or fructose), a disaccharide (maltose or trehalose), a...
Hegedus, Dwayne D., Khachatourians, George G.
A set of five mitochondrial (mt) probes derived from a strain of Beauveria bassiana was used to evaluate the similarity of mtDNAs from 15 additional isolates of this fungus and five genera of other...
Bidochka, Michael J., Khachatourians, George G.
Beauveria bassiana GK2016 grown in a medium with gelatin as the sole carbon and nitrogen source produced an extracellular protease. The protease production was highest when the fungus was grown on a...
Bidochka, Michael J., Khachatourians, George G.
The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana GK2016 grown in a liquid medium incorporating gelatin as the sole carbon and nitrogen source produced an extracellular serine protease (molecular...
Isolation of Noninhibitory Strains of Zymomonas mobilis
Haffie, Thomas L., Louie, Paul W., Khachatourians, George G.
Wild-type Zymomonas mobilis strains inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli. We report the first isolation of noninhibitory strains, called Zymomonas inhibition negative (Zin−), after treatment with...
Improved Method for Detection of Starch Hydrolysis
Dhawale, Motiram R., Wilson, J. Jeffrey, Khachatourians, George G., Ingledew, W. Mike
A new starch hydrolysis detection method which does not rely on iodine staining or the use of color-complexed starch is described. A linear relationship was obtained with agar-starch plates when net...
Effects of Fusariotoxin T-2 on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces carlsbergensis
Schappert, Keith T., Khachatourians, George G.
A Fusarium metabolite, T-2 toxin, inhibits the growth of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The growth inhibitory concentrations of T-2 toxin were 40 and 100 μg/ml,...
Inhibition of Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis in Escherichia coli by Thiolutin
Khachatourians, George G., Tipper, Donald J.
Thiolutin, at concentrations of 5 to 40 μg/ml, inhibited the induced synthesis of β-galactosidase in Escherichia coli CA8000. Thiolutin had no effect on the rate of in vitro hydrolysis of...
Khachatourians, George G., Clark, D. Joseph, Adler, Howard I., Hardigree, Alice A.
Escherichia coli Div 124(ts) is a conditional-lethal cell division mutant formed from a cross between a mutant that produces polar anucleated minicells and a temperature-sensitive cell division...
Xavier, Ilungo J., Khachatourians, George G., Ovsenek, Nick
This study represents the initial characterization of the heat shock factor (HSF) in filamentous fungi. We demonstrate that HSFs from Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Tolypocladium nivea,...
Sampathkumar, Balamurugan, Khachatourians, George G., Korber, Darren R.
The responses of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis to a sublethal dose of trisodium phosphate (TSP) and its equivalent alkaline pH made with NaOH were examined. Pretreatment of S. enterica...
