This interview is a part of the You're U.S. project (http://youreus.com/). Created by Emile Klein, You’re U.S. is a unique ethnographic project using arts and craftsmanship to display the distinctive character of people across America. Its goal is to create an engaging and accessible public archive of American people and their histories, an archive that provides diverse opinions and honest representations of those documented.You're U.S. is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of The New York Foundation for the Arts

Inhibitory effect of hydroxycinnamic acids on Dekkera spp.
No full textSimple phenolic components of wine, hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) are known to have antimicrobial properties. This study sought to determine the potential of ferulic acid as an antifungal agent for the control of Dekkera. Growth was inhibited by all HCAs examined in this study, with ferulic acid being the most potent at all concentrations. In the presence of ethanol, the inhibitory effects of ferulic acid were amplified. Scanning electron microscopy images reveal cellular damage upon exposure to ferulic acid. Thus, manipulation of ferulic acid concentrations could be of industrial significance for control of Dekkera and may be the basis for differences in susceptibility of wines to Dekkera spoilage.Victoria Harris, Vladimir Jiranek, Christopher M.

Dekkera and Brettanomyces growth and utilisation of hydroxycinnamic acids in synthetic media
No full textThe original publication can be found at www.springerlink.comDekkera and Brettanomyces yeast are important spoilage organisms in a number of food and beverage products. Isolates of both genera were cultured in a defined medium and supplemented with hydroxycinnamic acids and vinylphenols to investigate their influence on growth and the formation of ethyl phenol derivatives. The growth rate of Brettanomyces species in the presence of acids was reduced, and no significant conversion to vinyl or ethyl derivatives was observed. The growth rate and substrate utilisation rates of Dekkera anomala and Dekkera bruxellensis yeast differed depending on strain and the acid precursor present. Growth of D. bruxellensis was slowed by the presence of ferulic acid with the addition of 1 mM ferulic acid completely inhibiting growth. This study provides an insight into the spoilage potential of these organisms and possible control strategies involving hydroxycinnamic acids.Victoria Harris, Christopher M.

"Gesta Romanorum". A New Translation by Christopher Stace with an Introduction by Nigel Harris
No full textThis is the first modern English translation of the 'Gesta Romanorum' (c.1300), one of the primary sources of western European literature. Its 'Vulgate' corpus of 180 tales and moralizations (originally in Latin) is presented in accurate and fluent translations by Christopher Stace. I contribute a 14-page introduction, which summarizes all that can be known about the collection's author, date, textual history, sources and didactic intention, and suggests a revised interpretation of its didactic purport and literary style which draws particular attention to its focus on the sacrament of penance and its use of dialogue. I was also responsible for checking and commenting on the translation, for providing a number of footnotes to it, and for compiling a thematic index

Survey of enzyme activity responsible for phenolic off-flavour production by Dekkera and Brettanomyces yeast
No full text© Springer. Part of Springer Science+Business MediaVolatile phenols are produced by Dekkera yeasts and are of organoleptic importance in alcoholic beverages. The key compound in this respect is 4-ethylphenol, responsible for the medicinal and phenolic aromas in spoiled wines. The microbial synthesis of volatile phenols is thought to occur in two steps, beginning with naturally occurring hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs). The enzyme phenolic acid decarboxylase (PAD) converts HCAs to vinyl derivatives, which are the substrates of a second enzyme, postulated to be a vinylphenol reductase (VPR), whose activity results in the formation of ethylphenols. Here, both steps of the pathway are investigated, using cell extracts from a number of Dekkera and Brettanomyces species. Dekkera species catabolise ferulic, caffeic and p-coumaric acids and possess inducible enzymes with similar pH and temperature optima. Brettanomyces does not decarboxylate HCAs but does metabolise vinylphenols. Dekkera species form ethylphenols but the VPR enzyme appears to be highly unstable in cell extracts. A partial protein sequence for PAD was determined from Dekkera anomala and may indicate the presence of a novel enzyme in this genusVictoria Harris, Christopher M. Ford, Vladimir Jiranek and Paul R.
