Photoactive stain covalently binds to nucleic acids in solution and in cells with damaged membranes.
Used to footprint drug binding sites on DNA, detect non-viable cells, identify ethidium binding sites on DNA and tRNA, and selectively inactivate gene expression.
DNA-based methodology for the identification and detection of specific bacteria in dental plaque offers advantages over culturing techniques. One drawback of current molecular techniques like real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) is that they are not able to distinguish between
Cold atmospheric-gaseous plasma (CAP) is an emerging non-thermal technology for decontamination of foodborne bacterial and viral pathogens. We obtained a >5 log10 reduction in the titer (TCID50) of feline calicivirus (FCV) on stainless steel discs and Romaine lettuce leaves after
Journal of applied microbiology, 109(2), 623-634 (2010-02-19)
To optimize ethidium monoazide (EMA) coupled with real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and to evaluate its environmental applicability on quantifying viable legionellae in water and biofilm of cooling towers and hot water systems. EMA (0.9-45.5 microg ml(-1)) and propidium monoazide (PMA
Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research, 63(3), 502-507 (2011-02-01)
A method was developed for discriminating damaged viruses or naked viral RNA from intact viruses by ethidium monoazide (EMA) treatment before RT-PCR. The applied EMA treatment consisted of three steps: (1) EMA dose, (2) exposure to light, and (3) additional
Legionella pneumophila, aerosolized from numerous indoor facilities (e.g., shower heads, hot tubs, spas), may cause Pontiac fever (PF) and lethal pneumonia named Legionnaires' disease (LD) in humans. Reliable methods on quantitative exposure assessment of this bioaerosol are essential for the
