Fecal microbiota transplantation and microbiota‐based therapeutics in pediatric clinical practice: Current status and emerging indications

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a safe and effective treatment for recurrent or refractory Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) in children and adults. This review outlines the evidence behind FMT for rCDI, considerations in special pediatric populations, and limitations in current practice due to FMT access for patients under ...

Aflatoxin contamination in dried fruits and nuts in Bangladesh: Occurrence, dietary exposure, and health risk assessment

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dried fruits and nuts are widely consumed for their desirable sensory qualities and high nutritional value, providing essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fatty acids, potassium, dietary fiber, and bioactive compounds. However, they are highly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination, particularly in humid tropical regions ...

Ozonation as a promising approach to improve stored rice quality in Ghana

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Two species of rice pests that are responsible for postharvest losses, the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) and the Angoumois moth (Sitotroga cerealella), are major destructive pests responsible for paddy grain deterioration. A benchtop custom‐built model of ozone‐generating equipment from ozone generator DKM‐10GY, producing 2000 ppm

Influence of Sporulation Temperature on Germination and Growth of B. weihenstephanensis Strains in Specific Nutrients and in an Extended Shelf-Life Refrigerated Matrix Under Commercial Pasteurization and Storage Conditions

Foods
Extended shelf-life (ESL) refrigerated ready-to-eat foods are thermally pasteurized to ensure food safety and stability. However, surviving psychrotrophic Bacillus cereus spores can still pose a challenge. Studies predicting their behavior often overlook

Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.

Fine mapping of cucumber downy mildew resistance loci identifies candidate genes linked to ethylene‐associated stomatal defence

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Downy mildew, caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis, is one of the most destructive diseases affecting cucumber and remains difficult to manage sustainably through fungicide‐dependent control strategies. Although several resistance loci have been reported, many previously mapped regions remain too broad for efficient marker‐assisted ...

Simulated Trampling Disturbance Alters Biocrust Microbial Communities and Soil Functions: A Container‐Based Mesocosm Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...
