Can barbecue marinade additives inhibit the growth of Salmonella enterica in chicken?
Salmonella enterica, a bacterial pathogen of the gastrointestinal tract, is frequently found on raw chicken after the processing phase, so the consumer must ensure that their food is safe to eat. This study examines the ability of barbecue marinade alone and marinade containing various organic acids (tartaric, lactic, or citric acid) to inhibit S. enterica growth on chicken. Chicken will be infected with the bacterium and treated with the various marinades for different amounts of time. The number of S. enterica will be enumerated in order to determine the best way to inhibit the growth of this microbe which will result in safer food. Noor Mahmoud Does variation in the even-skipped gene shift anterior-posterior patterning in Drosophila melanogaster? Previous research suggests that shifts in the anterior-posterior (AP) position of even-skipped (eve) gene expression is correlated to AP shifts of morphological structures. Variation in AP pattern of eve expression may be caused by changes
