In a direct comparison of raking combined with hot thermal shock applications, both steam and high-intensity open-flame treatments tended to be most effective, especially following multiple applications. In addition, when hot thermal treatments are followed by a final cold shock (i.e. dry ice), steam treatments tended to be most effective.…[Read more]

Inhibition of fungal growth by Congo red (CR) has been putatively associated with specific binding to β-1,3-glucans, which blocks cell wall polysaccharide synthesis. Kinase Inhibitor Library manufacturer In this study, we searched for transcription factors (TFs) that regulate the response to CR and interrogated their regulon. During the…[Read more]
