Specific molecular detection of Carnobacterium piscicola SF668 in cold smoked salmon.

abstract：:Pyrimidine synthesis in the food spoilage agent Burkholderia cepacia ATCC 25416 was investigated. The five de novo pathway enzymes of pyrimidine biosynthesis were found to be active in B. cepacia ATCC 25416 and growth of this strain on uracil had an effect on the de novo enzyme activities. The in vitro regulation of a...
