Probiotic Development Strategy Centered on Stability and Regulatory Considerations

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of probiotic strains has become a major focus in both academic and industrial research, driven by their health benefits and growing consumer demand. However, functional outcomes demonstrated under laboratory conditions often fail to align with the stability and large‐scale performance required for industrial applications ...

Proteomic analysis of a novel Bacillus Jumbo phage revealing glycoside hydrolase as structural component

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Tailed phages with genomes of larger than 200 kbp are classified as Jumbo phages and exhibited extremely high uncharted diversity. The genomic annotation of Jumbo phage is often disappointing because most of the predicted proteins, including structural ...

Comparative genome analysis of tomato‐pathogenic Clavibacter michiganensis strains reveal genetic diversity in virulence genes

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 246-259, January 2026.
The present study builds upon this work, focusing on characterising the genomic diversity of Cmm strains exhibiting varying levels of pathogenicity in tomatoes. To this end, 12 Cmm strains displaying differential virulence on tomato were isolated and their genomes sequenced using the NovaSeq 6000 platform, using the reference Cmm strain PD223 as a ...

Archaea produce peptidoglycan hydrolases that kill bacteria. [PDF]

PLoS Biol
The social life of archaea is poorly understood. In particular, even though competition and conflict are common themes in microbial communities, there is scant evidence documenting antagonistic interactions between archaea and their abundant prokaryotic brethren: bacteria. Do archaea specifically target bacteria for destruction?

Chromosome‐level genome assembly of the photobiont microalga Trebouxia sp. ‘A48’ from the lichen Xanthoria parietina

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 1036-1052, January 2026.
Summary Lichens are symbiotic assemblies consisting of multiple organisms, chiefly a fungus and a photosynthetic microorganism, or photobiont. Among diverse photobionts, the most prevalent is the chlorophyte alga Trebouxia. We produced a chromosome‐level assembly of Trebouxia sp. ‘A48’, a photobiont of Xanthoria parietina. The genome was assembled into

The phage lytic proteins from the Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophage vB_SauS-phiIPLA88 display multiple active catalytic domains and do not trigger staphylococcal resistance.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The increase in antibiotic resistance world-wide revitalized the interest in the use of phage lysins to combat pathogenic bacteria. In this work, we analyzed the specific cleavage sites on the staphylococcal peptidoglycan produced by three phage lytic ...

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.

Habitat Diversity Sustains Ecosystem Functioning in Plateau Arid‐Region Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Habitat diversity underpins both biodiversity and functional biogeochemical processes in plateau arid‐region wetlands, thereby stabilizing ecosystem functioning. These functionally complementary habitats collectively drive critical ecosystem processes.

High‐Yield Outer Membrane Vesicles Derived From Probiotics as a Nanoplatform for Precise Treatment and Prophylaxis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are emerging as promising platforms for drug delivery and immunotherapy. However, bacteria only secrete a small amount of OMVs during the growth process, which seriously restricts their large‐scale application.

Secreted antigen A peptidoglycan hydrolase is essential for Enterococcus faecium cell separation and priming of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy

eLife
Enterococcus faecium is a microbiota species in humans that can modulate host immunity (Griffin and Hang, 2022), but has also acquired antibiotic resistance and is a major cause of hospital-associated infections (Van Tyne and Gilmore, 2014).
