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

open access: yesAnnals 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 ...

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

open access: yesNew 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

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

open access: yesEFSA 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.

Binding Mechanism of the Peptidoglycan Hydrolase Acm2: Low Affinity, Broad Specificity [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2013
Peptidoglycan hydrolases are bacterial secreted enzymes that cleave covalent bonds in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, thereby fulfilling major physiological functions during cell growth and division. Although the molecular structure and functional roles of these enzymes have been widely studied, the molecular details underlying their interaction with ...

Bacillus anthracis Peptidoglycan Integrity Is Disrupted by the Chemokine CXCL10 through the FtsE/X Complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The antimicrobial activity of the chemokine CXCL10 against vegetative cells of Bacillus anthracis occurs via both bacterial FtsE/X-dependent and-independent pathways.

Habitat Diversity Sustains Ecosystem Functioning in Plateau Arid‐Region Wetlands

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Phage Endolysin: A Way To Understand A Binding Function Of C-Terminal Domains A Mini Review

open access: yesNova Biotechnologica et Chimica, 2015
Endolysins are bacteriophage-encoded peptidoglycan hydrolases, which are synthesized in the end of phage reproduction cycle, in an infected host cell. Usually, for endolysins from phages that infect Gram-positive bacteria, a modular structure is typical.
