Killer Yeasts May Help Remedy a Craft Beer Brewing Bother
Diastatic yeasts can spoil craft beer through hyperattenuation, which can cause bottles to explode. Killer toxins produced by other yeasts may help brewers remedy potentially contaminated beers.
In Lab Tests, Dietary Zinc Inhibits AMR Gene Transmission
Bacteria transferred plasmids with AMR genes in the presence of zinc at reduced or nonexistent rates. Stopping the transfer without killing microbes may reduce AMR without disrupting the microbiome.
