Assessment of microbiological correlates and immunostimulatory potential of electron beam inactivated metabolically active yet non culturable (MAyNC) Salmonella Typhimurium
Fig 2
Electron beam-inactivated ST (EBST) maintains cell membrane integrity.
Membrane integrity of S. Typhimurium remains unaffected by eBeam irradiation. Staining with Live/ Dead BacLight kit reveals the presence of intact cell membrane for (A) Live ST and (B) EBST indicated by the green labelled bacterial cells. Red colored staining of (C) HKST indicates disrupted cell membrane due to heat treatment.
