glutamate decarboxylase/potato

Glutamate decarboxylase has been purified from potato tubers. The final preparation was homogeneous as judged from native and sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 gave a relative molecular mass Mr, of 91 000 for the native enzyme. Sodium dodecyl

We examined the acid tolerance and gad mRNA levels of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (three strains) and nonpathogenic E. coli (strains K12, W1485, and B) grown in foods. The E. coli cells (approximately 30,000 cells) were inoculated on the surface of 10 g of solid food samples (asparagus, broccoli,
