Inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on raw vegetable sprouts
… E. coli O157:H7 population reduction on radish sprouts was investigated. The results showed that spraying radish seeds soaked in 200 ppm chlorine solution with 0.04% calcinated calcium solution had potential in inhibiting growth of E. coli O157:H7. The study also demonstrated that 20,000 ppm …

Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Listeria monocytogenes to Bacteriophage LISTEX™ P100 in Alfalfa Sprouts (Medicago sativa)
… of L. monocytogenes to bacteriophage on alfalfa sprouts during seed germination and subsequent refrigerated storage at 4 °C. Alfalfa sprout seeds were dip-inoculated with 5.5 x 105 CFU/ml L. monocytogenes serogroups 1 and 4. This was followed by treatment with the commercial bacteriophage LISTEX™ …

Biology of virulent and hypovirulent Endothia parasitica on American chestnut (Castanea dentata)
… chestnut, most probably because chestnut sprouts released after cutting become larger than they do when overtopped by large forest trees. The size of chestnut sprouts appeared to influence the rate of blight progress by setting a maximum limit on canker size and thus canker sporulation. It …

The Effect of Seed Sprouting Time and Light on Phytic Acid Concentration
… a 12 hour soaking. A comparison was made between sprouts grown in the light for the last 24 hours vs sprouts kept in darkened areas for the total growing time.</p> <p>Analysis was based on dry weight and utilized the direct method in which 1) phytic acid was extracted by hot HC1, 2) ferric phytate …

Synthesis Of 1,3-Dicinnamoyl-2-Acetylglycerol, A Natural Product Derived from Genus Populus that Demonstrates Beaver Repellent Properties
Quaking aspen tree sprouts have been observed to be ignored by foraging beavers in favor of adult trees, despite a nutritional advantage possessed by the sprouts. This unexpected behavior has been found to be related to the presence of a yet undescribed compound present in sprout bark, …

Effects of wildfire on the structure and composition of mixed oak forests in the Blue Ridge of Virginia
… present in pre-fire stand reproduced via basal sprouts, chestnut oak sprouts were the most abundant stems taller than 1 m two growing seasons after high-intensity fire. Tree-of-heaven was the only species to regenerate by seed and able to match the height growth of oak basal sprouts. This …
