For the first time in Quebec, a type 1 canine adenovirus was isolated in cell culture and typed by restriction endonuclease analysis. This virus originated from the internal organs of a young dog killed by a severe respiratory disease without showing any sign of hepatitis. 相似文献

Exposure to microorganisms resistant to antimicrobials may constitute a health risk to human populations. It is believed that one route of exposure occurs when people engage in recreational activities in water contaminated with these microorganisms. The main objective of this study was to explore population-level and environmental determinants specifically associated with the presence of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) generic Escherichia coli isolated from recreational waters sampled from beaches located in southern Quebec, Canada. Water samples originated from the Quebec provincial beach surveillance program for the summers of 2004 and 2005. This study focused on three classes of determinants, namely: agricultural, population-level and beach characteristics for a total of 19 specific factors. The study was designed as a retrospective observational analysis and factors were assessed using logistic regression methods. From the multivariable analysis, the data suggested that the percentage of land used for spreading liquid manure was a significant factor associated with the presence of AMR E. coli (OR=27.73). Conceptually, broad factors potentially influencing the presence of AMR bacteria in water must be assessed specifically in addition to factors associated with general microbial contamination. Presence of AMR E. coli in recreational waters from beaches in southern Quebec may represent a risk for people engaging in water activities and this study provides preliminary evidence that agricultural practices, specifically spreading liquid manure in agricultural lands nearby beaches, may be linked to the contamination of these waters by AMR E. coli. 相似文献

Front-face fluorescence spectroscopy was used for the first time to study the interactions between bovine beta-lactoglobulin variant A (beta-Lg A) and various beta-Lg-derived bioactive peptides. Fluorescence spectra were recorded for beta-Lg A-peptide mixtures at 25 degrees C and pH 6.8 with an excitation wavelength of 290 nm to characterize the molecular environment of tryptophan (Trp) residues present in the protein but absent in the peptides. Spectra remained unchanged following addition of peptides beta-Lg f92-100 and beta-Lg f125-135, while Phe-Phe interaction between beta-Lg f69-83 molecules interfered with analysis. Addition of beta-Lg f102-105 produced a blue shift (3 nm) and a significant increase in fluorescence intensity, while addition of beta-Lg f142-148 also caused a significant increase in fluorescence intensity but accompanied by a red shift (3 nm). These results indicate that the polarity of the Trp environment in the beta-Lg A structure may be modified differently depending on the peptide added. 相似文献

The influence of patent, middle-cut and clear flour grades as native or reconstituted flour blends on both the rheological properties of the dough and the quality of semi-sweet biscuit (flour/sugar/fat/water ratio of 100/30/8/36) was studied. Moving from the central portion (patent) to the peripheral portion (clear) of the grain endosperm increased the dough hardness from 3.77 to 4.84 N, consistency from 19.3 to 25.5 N s, elongational viscosity from 4.13×10−5 to 5.54×10−5 Pa s, half-relaxation time from 0.45 to 0.59 s, but decreased the rate of relaxation from 4.51 to 3.09 s−1 of the biscuit's dough produced with the native flours due to the wide variation in the physico-chemical properties of these fractions. Quantitatively, the fractionation/reconstitution procedure reduced moderately these rheological parameters, and the flour functionality could not be restored completely. Biscuits produced with the patent flour showed the largest length and lowest thickness, whilst the clear fraction led to production of denser biscuits with greater cohesion (mean tearing force) of the biscuit inner structure and also contain more grains or group of grains per unit of penetration (number of spatial ruptures). The biscuits made with the reconstituted flour fractions had almost equivalent dimensional characteristics, and excellent surface appearance, but were also darker in colour than their native flour counterparts. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to identify the biochemical parameters that alter the soft wheat flour functionality for biscuit-making quality. A 9-point simplex centroid was used to investigate the effect of varying the ratios of gluten, water-solubles and starch-fractions isolated from three different flour grades (patent, middle-cut and clear flours) which exhibited a wide range of compositional and functionality characteristics on the dough rheological behaviour and the semi-sweet biscuit quality parameters. The amounts of soluble and insoluble proteins and pentosans as well as the endogenous lipids in each flour fraction were quantified. Dough consistency, elongational viscosity, hardness, half-relaxation time, relaxation rate constant, cohesiveness and springiness as well as biscuit density, firmness, tearing force and spatial frequency for the different flour fraction combinations were also assessed. Regression models have been developed to predict the responses of the rheological attributes of the dough as well as the biscuit quality characteristics to the compositional changes of the flour blends; in addition to the main linear terms (concentration of starch, gluten and water-solubles isolated from the different flour grades), significant interaction terms were identified which cannot be neglected in any prediction scheme for the dough and biscuit properties. Contour plots were drawn in an effort to better understand the overall property responses of the dough and biscuits. Significant relationships among certain dough rheological parameters and biscuit characteristics were found, implying a functional role for the total, soluble and insoluble proteins, pentosans and lipids in biscuit making. 相似文献

The first direct images of the Jovian aurora at ultraviolet wavelengths were obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Camera near the time of the Ulysses spacecraft encounter with Jupiter on 8 February 1992. The auroral oval is not uniformly luminous. It exhibits a brightness minimum in the vicinity of longitude 180 degrees . In the few images available, the brightest part of the oval occurs in late afternoon Jovian time. The observed oval is not concentric with calculated ovals in the O(6) model of Connerney. The size of the oval is consistent with auroral particles on field lines with magnetic L parameter >8, indicating significant migration from lo, its torus, or both, if these are their origins. 相似文献

Fifty lambs were used in a comparative slaughter experiment to determine the effects of growth rates and compensatory growth on body composition. The study consisted of a growing and a finishing phase. During the growing phase, lambs (20 to 30 kg) were fed three different concentrate levels (30, 50 or 70%) to gain at three different rates (slow, medium and rapid). The finishing phase was evaluated in two periods (early, 30 to 38 kg; late, 38 to 45 kg). All lambs received 70% concentrate diets during the finishing phase. Groups of five lambs were sacrificed at 20, 30, 38 and 45 kg fleece-free weights for whole-body chemical analysis. At 30 kg live weight, lambs on a rapid growth diet were the fattest (P less than .01) and contained the least protein (P less than .05) in their empty bodies. The slower the lambs gained during the growing phase, the greater (P less than .05) was the response in rate of gain and feed efficiency during both periods of the finishing phase. Compensatory growth occurred in two stages; a greater proportion of protein gain was made early while a greater proportion of the fat gain was made during the late period of the finishing phase. 相似文献

We sequenced and annotated the genome of the filamentous fungus Fusarium graminearum, a major pathogen of cultivated cereals. Very few repetitive sequences were detected, and the process of repeat-induced point mutation, in which duplicated sequences are subject to extensive mutation, may partially account for the reduced repeat content and apparent low number of paralogous (ancestrally duplicated) genes. A second strain of F. graminearum contained more than 10,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, which were frequently located near telomeres and within other discrete chromosomal segments. Many highly polymorphic regions contained sets of genes implicated in plant-fungus interactions and were unusually divergent, with higher rates of recombination. These regions of genome innovation may result from selection due to interactions of F. graminearum with its plant hosts. 相似文献
