Machine Learning Approaches to Assess Soil Microbiome Dynamics and Bio‐Sustainability

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding soil microbiota dynamics is essential for enhancing bio‐sustainability in agriculture, yet the complexity of microbial communities hampers the prediction of their functional roles. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer powerful tools to analyse high‐dimensional microbiome data generated by high‐throughput ...

Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feeds as notified to EFSA

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety concerns of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Soil Fungal Diversity and Ecology Assessed Using DNA Metabarcoding along a Deglaciated Chronosequence at Clearwater Mesa, James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula

Biology, 2023
We studied the fungal diversity present in soils sampled along a deglaciated chronosequence from para- to periglacial conditions on James Ross Island, north-east Antarctic Peninsula, using DNA metabarcoding. A total of 88 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs)

Assessment of genetically modified oilseed rape LBFLFK (application EFSA‐GMO‐DE‐2019‐157)

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Application EFSA‐GMO‐DE‐2019‐157 (oilseed rape LBFLFK) was submitted to EFSA to be risk assessed as full‐scope, i.e. for import, processing, and food and feed uses, within the EU. Oilseed rape LBFLFK was developed to alter its fatty acid profile and to confer tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides.

Perspectives on microbial community changes produced by Hermitia illucens frass and their impact on soil suppression against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6832-6842, October 2025.
Soils amended with chitin or black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) frass reduced Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae propagules compared to non‐amended soil. Changes observed in microbial communities could be involved. Abstract BACKGROUND Organic soil amendments rich in chitin have demonstrated significant potential promoting suppressive soils.

Disruption of lig4 improves gene targeting efficiency in the oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina 1S-4. [PDF]

, 2015
The oil-producing zygomycete Mortierella alpina 1S-4 is known to accumulate beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids. We identified the lig4 gene that encodes for a DNA ligase 4 homolog, which functions to repair double strand breaks by non-homologous end ...
