Hard yellow maize is a crucial crop in Peruvian agriculture that plays a significant role in food security and livestock production. However, intensive fertilization practices in agronomic management have negatively impacted soil health. To explore m...

Light is a crucial factor that influences algal production. Red and blue light have been widely utilized in two-stage cultivation approaches due to their significant roles in promoting algal growth and pigment accumulation. To investigate the effects...

Salmonella enterica is a globally important zoonotic microorganism that affects pigs and can enter the farm through various routes. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of S. enterica in water sources and pigs at Colombian pig farms, and to c...

Prodigiosin is a fascinating compound that has been gaining attention in the scientific community for its diverse range of potential applications. From its vibrant red color to its unique chemical properties, prodigiosin has captured the interest of...

Background: Autism spectrum disorder is a multifactorial phenomenon whose genetic, biological, environmental, and nutritional factors outline the heterogeneous phenotype of the disease. A limitation in social connections with others, stereotyped reac...

Soil microorganisms play a significant role in the dynamic regulation of organic matter in soils. To assess the influence of agricultural practices on soil functional profiling, we examined the effect of soil disturbance and plant sequence with diffe...

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric illness with harmful physical consequences. Studies have observed differences in the faecal microbiota of patients with AN compared to healthy controls. Diet has an impact on the gut microbiota, facilitating an...

With the increase in mercury pollution around the world, several bacteria have been identified that are capable of resisting mercury toxicity. With this in mind, the aim of this review was to determine which genes are involved in mercury resistance,...

The global food security crisis is emphasized by the alarming amount of food waste, where about one-third of the world’s food production, roughly 1.3 billion metric tons, is lost annually. Pathogens, such as Botrytis cinerea, contribute signifi...

Host genetics and environmental factors have been associated with effects on the mouse fecal microbiome; however, the commercial source of mice remains the dominant factor. Increasing evidence indicates that supplier-specific microbiomes confer diffe...

On commercial banana (Musa spp.) plantations, soils are often supplemented with phosphorus (P) fertiliser to optimise production. Such additions may influence the diversity and function of soil microbial communities, which play important roles in P c...

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bloodstream infection (SAB), with up to 30% mortality. Despite treatment with standard antibiotics, one in three patients develops a persistent infection, which portends a five-fold increase in the risk of...

The rhizosphere, a narrow region of soil surrounding plant roots, is an environment rich in microbial diversity that profoundly influences plants’ health, growth, and agricultural productivity. This microbial community, known as the rhizosphere...

The gut microbiota plays an essential role in its host’s nutrition, development and behavior. Although crickets are becoming major ecosystemic model systems and have important societal applications, such as alternative animal proteins or biocat...

Salmonella has had a long and intimate relationship with humans and continues to raise concerns for human health, but this close bond also provides opportunities for new therapeutics and treatments. Although Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is the p...

This review presents an approach to the incorporation of cyanobacteria and microalgae in yogurts and explores their impact on the nutritional, rheological, sensory, and antioxidant qualities of these products. First, the yogurt market context and its...

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogens transmitted through food poses a significant threat to global public health, complicating infection treatment and increasing mortality rates. This review explores the role of resistome mapp...

A conventional, group-specific PCR method was developed to identify each of the four previously defined major taxa (Myoviridae, Siphoviridae, Podoviridae and Microviridae) of somatic coliphages and used to classify isolates from sewage. Somatic colip...

This study explores the integration of genome sequencing and digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR)-based methods for tracking the diversity of COVID-19 variants in wastewater. The research focuses on monitoring various Omicron subvariants...

V. lutrae is an emerging human pathogen attributed to increasing hospitalization cases in humans; however, its biology and epidemiology are under-explored. The present study explored V. lutrae recovery, prevalence, and biology. A two-step enrichment...

With the anticipated population growth by 2050, the demand for high-quality protein for human consumption is set to rise. To enhance the sustainability of U.S. cattle production, producers and researchers have traditionally concentrated on improving...

This study explores the relationship between filamentous fungi and dental caries in isolated indigenous communities in Siltepec, Chiapas, Mexico. A total of 37 oral swabs were collected, with 22 participants harboring filamentous fungi, primarily fro...
