Commodity risk assessment of Acer plants from Ukraine

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ’High‐risk plants, plant products and other objects'. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by Acer plants (A. griseum, A.

Clostridium difficile and gut health: Bacteria, the gut microbiome, and diet

iMetaOmics, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2025.
This review explores the mechanisms underlying Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), focusing on the pathogen's life cycle and its pathogenicity within the host. It further explores the interactions between the gut microbiome, gut metabolites, and CDI. Additionally, the review highlights dietary modulation as a promising strategy to restore gut health,

Identification of the Immunodominant Protein and Other Proteins of theBacillus anthracisExosporium [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2003
ABSTRACTSpores ofBacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, are enclosed by a prominent loose-fitting, balloon-like layer called the exosporium. Although the exosporium serves as the source of surface antigens and a primary permeability barrier of the spore, its molecular structure and function are not well characterized.

Detection of YwdL in unwashed and fully washed exosporium using Western blotting.

, 2013
An anti-YwdL antibody was used to locate YwdL in unwashed and fully washed B. cereus ATCC 10876 and B. thuringiensis kurstaki 4d11 exosporium. Lanes 1 and 2 contain unwashed and washed ΔywdL exosporium, lane 3 and 4 unwashed and fully washed B.

Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) on the risk assessment of botulism resulting from the consumption of vacuum‐packed or modified atmosphere‐packed foods

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Foodborne botulism is caused by the ingestion of a neurotoxin (BoNT) primarily produced by Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium is classified into six phenotypic Groups, with Groups I and II being associated with human disease. BoNT are divided into seven main types with different antigenic potentials, of which types A, B, E, and F are ...

Immunogens related to the synthetic tetrasaccharide side chain of the Bacillus anthracis exosporium [PDF]

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2007
The known methyl 2-O-acetyl-3,4-di-O-benzyl-1-thio-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (3) was converted to the corresponding 5-methoxycarbonylpentyl glycoside 4 which was deacetylated. The product 5 was used as the initial glycosyl acceptor to construct two trirhamnoside glycosyl acceptors having HO-3(III) flanked by either benzoyl or benzyl groups, compounds 10

Phenotypic and Genomic Insights Into Bacillus spp. and Peribacillus spp. of Spanish Olive Groves With Biotechnological Potential

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
Spore‐forming organisms isolated from Spanish olive groves produce hydrolytic and surface‐active enzymes. Population behaviour is influenced by the formation of strong floating and sessile biofilms. Whole genome sequencing confirms bacteriocin production and environmental safety for the Peribacillus frigoritolerans strain UJA_MA_369.
