Rapid risk assessment on acute reference dose (ARfD) of cereulide in infants and information on acute consumption of infant formulae

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract EFSA has received a request for a rapid risk assessment for cereulide from the European Commission. Cereulide is a heat‐stable emetic toxin produced by Bacillus cereus, recently detected in infant formulae from multiple manufacturers. This led to precautionary recalls across several countries.

Surfactin Mitigates a High-Fat Diet and Streptozotocin-Induced Type 2 Diabetes through Improving Pancreatic Dysfunction and Inhibiting Inflammatory Response

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Surfactin from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens fmb50 was utilized to treat mice with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) induced by a high-fat diet/streptozotocin (HFD/STZ). Our group’s earlier research indicated that surfactin could lower blood glucose and mitigate liver

Toward Sustainable Pesticide Application: Bridging Efficacy and Food Safety

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
A fully bio‐based lignin coacervate system is developed for pesticide delivery, enhancing leaf retention, UV resistance, adhesion, and wetting. The formulation enables pH/laccase‐triggered release for prolonged action, reduces ecological toxicity, and is fully washable, reconciling agricultural efficacy with food and environmental safety.

Mycelial dynamics in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 691-713, January 2026.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), similar to other filamentous fungi, develop extensive hyphal networks collectively known as mycelia. AMF mycelia are complemented by a variety of specialized structures such as spores, vesicles, and auxiliary cells, which together form integrated and functionally diverse AMF networks.

Reducing the Severity of Fusarium Wilt in Common Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by Coinoculation of Rhizobium tropici and Azospirillum brasilense

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Root diseases caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli are major limiting factors for grain production of common beans in Brazil. The use of antagonistic bacteria can inhibit and reduce the incidence of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of co‐inoculating with Rhizobium tropici and Azospirillum brasilense on the severity of ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Plant Growth–Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) in Biofertilization and Disease Suppression of Crops

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial soil bacteria that colonize the rhizosphere and enhance plant growth through direct and indirect mechanisms, including nutrient solubilization, phytohormone production, suppression of phytopathogens, and activation of plant defense mechanisms.
