Straw and Xylan Utilization by Pure Cultures of Nitrogen-Fixing Azospirillum spp.

abstract：:A real-time immunoquantitative PCR (iqPCR) method for detection of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) was developed and evaluated using both pure cultures and foods. The assay consisted of immunocapture of SEB and real-time PCR amplification of the DNA probe linked to the detection antibody. iqPCR was compared ...
