Summary: The study identified a diverse population of Riemerella-like organisms isolated from Australian poultry, with differences in species and serovars observed through PCR assays, sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and gel diffusion tests. DNA fingerprinting analysis showed distinct clusters with no clear relationship to serovars.

Summary: This study used a combination of chemical and molecular fingerprinting techniques to discriminate commercial green coffee accessions from different geographical origins. It was found that CC had higher content of polyphenols and flavonoids compared to CA. PCR-RFLP analysis was instrumental for the identification of recognition markers for different coffee accessions.

Summary: This study investigated the microbiota of spontaneously fermented Maiorca dough samples collected from bakeries in Sicily, Italy. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Levilactobacillus brevis were found to dominate the lactobacilli population, while Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Wickerhamomyces anomalus were the most frequently isolated yeast species. This research could contribute to the selection of starters for baked goods production based on the characteristics of the isolated strains.

Summary: The native Bradyrhizobium is the predominant symbiont in the nodules of mung bean grown in Brazilian tropical soils, with Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense B071 isolates showing greater increases in shoot dry weight. Depending on the soil of origin, plants inoculated with different Bradyrhizobium strains exhibited varying degrees of nodulation and shoot dry weight increase.

Summary: Lupin is a versatile legume crop that can grow in various environmental conditions where other crops struggle. It has unique seed nutrients and can be used for phytoremediation. The bacteria that nodulate Lupins belong to different genera, including Bradyrhizobium and other fast-growing genera. Horizontal gene transfer plays a crucial role in facilitating the symbiotic relationship between Lupin and these bacteria. Further studies on unstudied Lupinus species and their microsymbionts will enhance our understanding of Lupin's adaptability and its potential for marginal soils.

Summary: Instability of morphological and physiological characteristics under different environmental conditions can lead to misidentification of cyanobacteria. This study successfully identified three cyanobacteria species from an Iranian wetland using morphological, molecular, and biochemical data. The results confirmed the effectiveness of molecular markers and biochemical parameters in reliable identification of cyanobacteria.

Summary: This study developed a new PCR method using the CRISPR-Cas9 system to remove fermentative bacteria in yogurt and enrich unintended bacterial contaminants. The method improved detection sensitivity, simplified operation steps, and reduced detection costs. By analyzing unintended bacterial contaminants in yogurt with shrunken packaging, the underlying reasons for product quality issues were identified.

Summary: Some species of turtles and tortoises are threatened by pathogens such as Mycoplasmopsis agassizii, which can lead to population declines. Proper diagnosis and control of transmissible diseases are crucial for limiting the spread of pathogens in animal collections. This study highlights the importance of practitioners in collecting and sharing data for analysis and emphasizes the need to collect appropriate samples to avoid false negative results. It also suggests that other pathogens should be considered in coinfection or infection cases.

Summary: This study is the first report on the presence and molecular characterization of phytoplasmas in Kosovar vineyards, with the phytoplasmas belonging to the 16SrXII group and showing similarity to 'Candidatus Phytoplasma solani'. It is recommended that testing for phytoplasma be included in the certification program for grapevine in Kosovo.

Summary: This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics and microbiological composition of naturally black dry-salted olives obtained from different retail outlets in the Greek market. The results showed significant variability in the physicochemical attributes among the samples, with pH values ranging from 4.0 to 5.0 and water activity values ranging from 0.58 to 0.91. The dominant yeast species identified were Pichia membranifaciens, Candida sorbosivorans, Citeromyces nyon-sensis, Candida etchelsii, Wickerhamomyces subpelliculosus, Candida apicola, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Torulaspora delbrueckii, and Candida versatilis. The majority of the samples met the microbiological and hygienic quality requirements, but there was a lack of standardization in the processing of this commercial style.

Summary: This study provides the first detailed characterization of the microbiota and chemistry in different arid habitats of Qatar. The dominant microbial phyla were Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Chloroflexi, though their abundances varied across soils. The study also found correlations between microbial diversity and soil characteristics such as sand, clay, and silt.

Summary: The local coffee accessions in the southern regions of Saudi Arabia exhibit high genetic diversity, with some accessions showing significant genetic divergence. These divergent genotypes should be conserved for use in breeding programs to improve agronomic value and enhance environmental resilience.
