Food Microorganisms
Food microbiology encompasses the study of microorganisms that have either a
beneficial or deleterious effect on the quality and safety of foods.
Food microbiology focuses on the microorganisms that are found in and around foods.
It includes studies of microbial growth characteristics, identification, and prevention.
Specific areas of interest are: foodborne illness, food spoilage, food preservation,
sanitation, and food legislation. These interest areas comprise this course.
The microbiological world consists of bacteria, yeasts, molds, viruses, parasites,
algae and prions. All except algae are considered food microorganisms. Let’s look at
each group briefly.
Bacteria
Bacteria are prokaryotes because they do not possess nuclei. They have a normal
double stranded DNA genome. Sometimes there may be extracellular DNA fragments
known as plasmids. Plasmids can often encode proteins that make the cell enhanced
such as antibiotic resistance.
Plasmids can be shared with other
cells usually of a similar genus or
species. The DNA clusters in the
center of the cell forming a nucleoid.
(If it had a membrane around it, it
would be a nucleus). Closely
associated with the nucleoid are the
ribosomes. Ribosomes translate
DNA into amino acids which are the
building blocks of proteins.

microbiology
The main interior is called the
cytoplasm. This is where water,
enzymes, and nutrients all work to
power the cell. There are three main
functions, energy production,
metabolism and catabolism. Energy
naturally is in the form of ATP
generated from metabolic reactions.
Metabolism also consists of enzymes
that build up the components of the
cell. Catabolism consists of enzymes
that break down nutrients. All three
work congruently.

microbiology
The cytoplasm is surrounded by a
cytoplasmic membrane which
determines what goes in and out of
the organism. Water, dissolved gases
(e.g. CO2 and O2) and lipid-soluble
molecules simply diffuse across the
phospholipid bilayer. Water-soluble
ions generally pass through small
pores in the membrane. All other
molecules require carrier molecules to
transport them through the
membrane.
Discuss membrane function and food

Immediately outside of the
cytoplasmic membrane is the cell
wall. This is the component that
stains differently in the Gram stain.
Red is gram negative a thinner peptidoglycan cell wall. Blue or purple is gram positive
usually a much thicker peptidoglycan cell wall. Its main function is structural. The cell
wall provides the bacteria shape: cocci, rods, spirals, etc.
External to the cell wall in SOME bacteria is a capsule layer.
This is a polysaccharide/protein layer that can protect the cell
from desiccation. There are other benefits. Similar to a

The first organism to evolve on Earth was probably a single-celled organism, similar to modern bacteria. Since then, life has evolved into many forms of life over many millennia. However, we can still trace our ancestors back to this single-celled organism. Today, bacteria are considered the oldest life forms on Earth.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Bacteria: These are microscopic single-celled organisms; they have a cell
wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm and plasmids; they lack a nucleus but
contain a circular chromosome of DNA; some bacteria can carry out
photosynthesis but most feed off other living or dead organisms
Examples include Lactobacillus bulgaricus, a rod-shaped bacterium used in
the production of yoghurt from milk, and Pneumococcus, a spherical
bacterium that acts as the pathogen causing pneumonia
Protoctists: These are microscopic single-celled organisms. Some, like
Amoeba, that live in pond water, have features like an animal cell, while
others, like Chlorella, have chloroplasts and are more like plants. A
pathogenic example is Plasmodium, responsible for causing malaria
Viruses: These are small particles, smaller than bacteria; they are parasitic
and can reproduce only inside living cells; they infect every type of living
organism. They have a wide variety of shapes and sizes; they have no cellular
structure but have a protein coat and contain one type of nucleic acid, either
DNA or RNA Examples include the tobacco mosaic virus that causes
discolouring of the leaves of tobacco plants by preventing the formation of
chloroplasts, the influenza virus that causes ‘flu’ and the HIV virus that
causes AIDS
