Q

Intrinsic factors (carbs)

A

carb rich food show spoilage by fungi
Enzymes degrade food by hydrolysis, once mold degrades outer layer bacteria can colonize, toxins may be produced

Q

Intrinsic factors (proteins/fats)

A

Bacterial growth predominates,
putrefaction - proteolysis and anaerobic breakdown of proteins (smell)
Unpasteurized milk - acid production, bacteria, proteins and fat coagulate (clear)

Q

Other intrinsic factors

A

pH - low pH = mold, yeast neutral = bacteria
Presence/availability of water - lower water activity inhibits growth
Physical structure - grinding/ mixing distributes microbe

Q

Temperature (microbial growth)

A

low temp - 5 degrees slows but doesn’t stop growth
High temp - kills spoilage microbes not all

Q

Pasteurization (LTH, HTST, HTLT, UHT)

A

kills pathogens and reduces number of spoilage organisms, different heat for different things
LTH - low temp holding = beer, fruit juice, milk for yogurt
HTST = High short time, milk
HTLT = high, long, fruit juice milk
UHT = ultra high = milk with no fridge

Q

Botulism (caused by)

A

caused by clostridium botulinum, gram +, anaerobic, neurotoxin, affects cranial nerves,
food from canned goods not properly preserved, exposure to open wounds

16
Q

Fermented milks

A

lactic acid bacteria, lactobaccilus, lactococcus, gram +, acid tolerant

17
Q

Cheese production

A

lactic acid fermentation
milk > lactic acid bacteria > curd > removal of whey > ripening > cheese

18
Q

Wines and champagnes

A

enology (wine) = crushed grapes, treated with sulfer dioxide, yeast added, malolactic fermentation
Sweet wines = fermentation stopped early
Champagne = fermentation continues, add sugar

19
Q

Beer Brewing

A

Cereal grains used for fermentation
malt = dry, sprouted barley grains
Mash = malt after being mixed with hot water
Wort = liquid extracted from mashing
Wort heated, hops added = heating stops enzymes, kills microbes, hops are for flavor

20
Q

Lagers and ales

A

cooled wort inoculated with desired yeast, fermentation produces alcohol and CO2

21
Q

Foods modified by fermentations

A

meats, coffee, soy sauce, sauerkraut, pickles, silage

22
Q

Discovery of CRISPR- Cas

A

sequencing streptococcus thermophilius genome, realized that repeat regions have viral sequences, cas proteins cut DNA, tracr sequences identified, realized it could edit genomes

23
Q

Restriction modification system

A

restriction enzymes cleave and destroy foreign DNA, own sequences guarded by methylation

24
Q

CRISPR Cas (stand for)

A

clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
-repeating sequences of DNA in bacteria separated by spacer sequences
Crispr associated (Cas)
-nuclease use spacer as guide

25
2 stage CRISPR
1. adaptation stage = addition of DNA sequence to end region following survived infections 2. Interference stage = 2nd time with virus, crispr locus transcribed and processed into crispr RNA molecules, cas bind to viral DNA = destruction
26
Cas enzymes (2)
1. Class 1 = multi-subunit crRNA-effector complexes 2. Class 2 = single subunit nuclease, multiple domains, best for genome editing
27
CRISPR components
CAS 9 - protein nuclease crRNA - spacer DNA transcribed into crRNA Tracr- trans-activating crRNA PAM - Protospacer adjacent motif sequence must also be present near target sequence
28
Cas 9 cleavage of DNA
RNA guided, crRNA + Tracr RNA required, combined into 1, pam sequence must be adjacent to target, cas 9 assembles at target and cuts DNA strands = blunt ends, DNA break repaired or lethal to cell
29
Double stranded break outcomes
1. non homologous end joining system repairs break, can accidentally introduce point mutations 2. piece of double stranded DNA can be added, donor DNA integrated into genome by homologus recombination
30
Cas 9 protein structure
REC I: binding of guide RNA, PAM interacting: recognize PAM sequence HNH: nuclease RuvC: nuclease Nuclease domains can be deactivated by mutation
31
Applications of Crispr
gene activation, epigenome modification, base editing, chromatin imaging
