Food systems are complex microbial ecosystems in which microorganisms play dual and often contrasting roles as agents of foodborne contamination and as essential drivers of food production and biotechnological innovation. Microbial ecology provides an integrative …
Read PDF<i>Brukina</i>, a traditional fermented beverage smoothie made from milk and millet, is popular in Ghana and other West African countries due to its tasty flavor, high nutritional content, and affordability. Despite its widespread consumption, the …

Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>The risk to humans and animals from antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has increased the emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship in food animal agriculture. Current stewardship recommendations include increasing diagnostic laboratory testing to inform antimicrobial use for bovine …
Read PDFThe human gut microbiota is dominated by obligately anaerobic bacteria. A method based on species-targeted sorting using flow cytometry under anaerobic conditions has been performed to analyze the gut microbiome. This report describes the complete …
Read PDFCosmopolitan microbial lineages are found in anoxic sediments worldwide, but the details about their ecology and evolution remain underexplored. In this study, we identified persistent populations from these cosmopolitan lineages belonging to <i>Planctomycetes</i>, <i>Chloroflexi Atribacteria</i>, …
Read PDFWe report fatal tularemia in stranded beluga whales in Cook Inlet, Alaska, USA. Francisella tularensis was detected by nanopore metagenomics, confirmed by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry, and characterized as F. tularensis subspecies holarctica by multilocus …
Read PDFLow-temperature (34 °C) hydrothermal fluid was collected from Axial Seamount along the Juan de Fuca Ridge in the northeast Pacific Ocean. A thermophilic methanogen, designated strain Ax23<sup>T</sup>, was isolated from this fluid. The archaeon was …
Read PDFSeveral arboviruses including Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, West Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses are emerging and re-emerging in many parts of the world over last two decades. Thus, environmental surveillance of the mosquito borne viruses employing …
Read PDFMetagenomics enables direct investigation of the gene content and potential functions of gut bacteria without isolation and culture. However, metagenome-assembled genomes are often incomplete and have low contiguity due to challenges in assembling repeated genomic …
Read PDFRapid and comprehensive analysis of metagenomic data from samples associated with foodborne outbreaks is of critical importance in food safety. Equally important is the need for automated analysis pipelines that allow the rapid and effective …
Read PDFThis study investigated the longitudinal dynamics of the cecal microbiome in male and female broiler chickens from hatch (d 0) to market age (d 42) using full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing via Oxford Nanopore Technology. …
Read PDFMetagenomic sequencing for pathogen detection has traditionally suffered from low sensitivity due to the overwhelming presence of host nucleic acids. Commercial host-depletion kits are often prohibitively expensive and limited to specific species, hindering adoption in …
Read PDFRiver ecosystems are vital for supporting biodiversity and supplying freshwater, but are increasingly impacted by microbial pollution, including the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which poses growing public health concerns. While high-throughput sequencing technologies …
Read PDFFour different bacteria were isolated from cheese rinds, identified using genetic sequencing, and analyzed using various bioinformatic tools. The results provide perspective into the microbial diversity of cheese rinds, which contributes to our knowledge and …
Read PDFField-deployable DNA metabarcoding offers a transformative approach to biodiversity research and monitoring, yet its application remains limited due to technical constraints and a lack of reference data in poorly studied ecosystems. Combining isothermal Recombinase Polymerase …
