Biogenic amines (BAs) are produced primarily by microorganisms found in fermented foods and are often implicated in food poisoning. BA-producing bacteria found in fermented soybean pastes were isolated and characterized using a decarboxylating medium and multiplex PCR analysis. Two BA-producing bacteria were isolated from traditional soybean pastes: one was a histamine-producing Clostridium strain, and the other was a tyramine-producing Pseudomonas strain. The Clostridium strain was determined to be a potent histamine producer among the cultures tested. Synthesis of tyramine by Pseudomonas sp. T1 was observed for the first time in this study.
In this paper, we propose a new memory efficient IFFT design method for OFDM-based applications, based on a signed integer mapping of three IFFT input signals which are composed of modulated data, pilot and null signals. The proposed method focuses on reducing the word size of memory in the first two stages of the single-path delay feedback (SDF) IFFT architectures since the first two stages require 75% of the overall memory. By Synopsys simulation of the first two stages of IFFT, it is shown that the proposed method achieves about 40% reduction in area and 44% reduction in power consumption compared with the previous work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
