Under-detection of endospore-forming Firmicutes in metagenomic data [PDF]

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2015
Microbial diversity studies based on metagenomic sequencing have greatly enhanced our knowledge of the microbial world. However, one caveat is the fact that not all microorganisms are equally well detected, questioning the universality of this approach ...

Endospore production of Bacillus spp. for industrial use

Engineering in Life Sciences, 2023
The increased occurrence of antibiotic resistance and the harmful use of pesticides are a major problem of modern times. A ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal breeding has put a focus on the probiotics market.

Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Optimisation of the inhibitory effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, nisin, and lysozyme to prevent the late blowing defect in a cheese model

Czech Journal of Food Sciences
The present study employed response surface methodology (RSM) to optimise the prevention of late blowing defects in cheese during storage. The aim was to enhance the inhibition of Clostridium sporogenes in cheese by manipulating three independent ...

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

A transcriptomic snapshot of early molecular communication between Pasteuria penetrans and Meloidogyne incognita

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Southern root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White, 1919), Chitwood, 1949 is a key pest of agricultural crops. Pasteuria penetrans is a hyperparasitic bacterium capable of suppressing the nematode reproduction, and represents ...

Photo Quiz: Globose Yeast‐Like Forms With Multiple Peripheral Buds in Urine and Cervical Cytology

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 11, Page 842-845, November 2026.
ABSTRACT A 26‐year‐old immunocompetent woman with a history of noninvasive, low‐grade papillary urothelial carcinoma presented with persistent upper abdominal pain. Urine cytology, performed for bladder tumor surveillance, revealed globose, yeast‐like forms (10–30 μm) with thick walls and multiple narrowly attached peripheral buds in a “ship wheel ...
