Research paper on Molecular characterization of multiple xylanase producing
thermophilic/ thermotolerant fungi isolated from composting material got
published in Letters in Applied Microbiology Journal (Jan, 2008).

2008-05
DNA from 16 thermophilic/thermotolerant fungal isolates was amplified by PCR using three sets of
primers: (i) internal transcribed spacer sequence (ITSI-5.8S-ITSII), (ii) D1/D2 hyper variable region of
26S rDNA and (iii) 18S rDNA region.
The amplified products of internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and
D1/D2 region were sequenced and analysed using CLUSTALX, whereas, amplified 18S rDNA region was
subjected to RFLP analysis based on restriction digestion with RsaI, MboI and Hinf I.

A multilaboratory collaborative study was conducted to compare the detection of Salmonella by the
Assurance GDS for Salmonella method and the Reference culture methods.
Six foods, representing
a variety of low microbial and high microbial load foods were analyzed.
Seventeen laboratories in
the United States and Canada participated in this study.
No statistical differences (P < 0.05) were
observed between the Assurance GDS for Salmonella and the Reference culture methods for any
inoculation level of any food type or naturally contaminated food, except for pasta, for which the
Assurance GDS method had a higher number of confirmed test portions for Salmonella compared to
the Reference method.Comparison of Assurance GDS() MPX ID for Top STEC with Reference Culture

Assurance GDS() MPX ID for Top Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC; MPX ID) was validated
according to the AOAC INTERNATIONAL Methods Committee Guidelines for Validation of Microbiological
Methods for Foods and Environmental Surfaces as (1) a secondary screening method for specific
detection of the Top 6 STEC serogroups (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145) in raw beef trim,
raw ground beef, raw spinach, and on stainless steel; and (2) as a confirmatory method for the
identification of pure culture isolates as Top 6 STEC.
MPX ID is used in conjunction with the upfront BCS
Assurance GDS MPX Top 7 STEC assay.

Assurance GDS(TM) for Salmonella Tq has been validated according to the AOAC INTERNATIONAL
Methods Committee Guidelines for Validation of Microbiological Methods for Food and Environmental
Surfaces for the detection of selected foods and environmental surfaces (Official Method of
Analysis(SM) 2009.03, Performance Tested Method(SM) No.
050602).
The method also completed
AFNOR validation (following the ISO 16140 standard) compared to the reference method EN ISO 6579.

O157:H7 Method to the Reference Culture Method: 375 Gram Sample Size
2013-07
The Assurance GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (0157), AOAC Official MethodsM 2005.05, has been modified
to include a larger sample size of 375 g.
A methods comparison study was conducted to demonstrate
the equivalence of this modification to the reference culture method.
Ninety samples and controls,
representing three foods, were analyzed.
Results show no statistically detectable difference between
the Assurance GDS Escherichia coli O157:H7 assay and the reference culture methods for the
detection of E.
Coli O157:H7, other than the low level of inoculation for leaf lettuce for which the GDS
gave noticeably higher recovery [difference in Probability of Detection between candidate methods
(dPODc = +0.45)].
There were also suggestions of moderate differences (dPODc = +0.15 to +0.20) for
ground beef and the high level of leaf lettuce, but the study size was too small to detect differences of
this size.
Results showed that the Assurance GDS Shiga Toxin Genes (0157) method is equivalent to
the reference culture methods for the detection of Shiga toxigenic E.
Coli O157:H7.
