Wild birds, particularly silver gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) that nest near anthropogenic sites, often harbour bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics, including those considered of clinical importance. Here, we describe the whole genome sequence of Escherichia coli isolate CE1867 from a silver gull chick sampled in 2012 that hosted a...

Bacteria can be adapted to adverse and detrimental conditions that induce general and specific responses to DNA damage as well as acid, heat, cold, starvation, oxidative, envelope, and osmotic stresses. The stress-triggered regulatory systems are involved in bacterial survival processes, such as adaptation, physiological changes, virulence potentia...

Edible mushrooms are widely appreciated for their appealing flavours, low caloric values and high content of presumably health-protecting metabolites. Their long history of safe use together with the looming worldwide food crisis have revived the idea of generating meat analogues and protein isolates by the controlled fermentation of mycelia of the...

The Apicomplexa are obligate intracellular parasites responsible for several important human diseases. These protozoan organisms have evolved several strategies to modify the host cell environment to create a favorable niche for their survival. The host cytoskeleton is widely manipulated during all phases of apicomplexan intracellular infection. Mo...

The utilization of insect-based diets to improve gastrointestinal function and gut health in poultry is gaining global attention as a promising feed additive. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal inclusion level of the full-fat black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and Desmodium intortum (DI) in broiler chicken diets and to evaluate t...

Pythium oligandrum, strain M1, is a soil oomycete successfully used as a biological control agent (BCA), protecting plants against fungal, yeast, and oomycete pathogens through mycoparasitism and elicitor-dependent plant priming. The not yet described Pythium strains, X42 and 00X48, have shown potential as BCAs given the high activity of their secr...

Probiotics are bacterial strains that are known to provide host health benefits. Limosilactobacillus reuteri is a well-documented lactic acid bacterium that has been cultured from numerous human sites. The strain investigated was L. reuteri DSM 20016, which has been found to produce useful metabolites. The strain was explored using genomic and prot...

Sedimentary microorganisms play crucial roles in maintaining the functional stability of aquatic ecosystems. However, their taxonomic composition and assembly processes are not well known in estuarine-coastal margins because of their complex environment. We investigated microbial communities, co-occurrence relationships, and underlying mechanisms i...

Haptophyte microalgae are key contributors to microbial communities in many environments. It has been proposed recently that members of this group would be virtually all dependent on vitamin B12 (cobalamin), an enzymatic cofactor produced only by some bacteria and archaea. Here, we examined the processes of vitamin B12 acquisition by haptophytes. W...

Increased knowledge suggests that disturbed gut microbiota, termed dysbiosis, might promote the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. Accordingly, gut microbiota manipulation has evolved in the last decade as a novel treatment strategy in order to improve IBS symptoms. In using different approaches, dietary management stands first...
