The microbiota of wooden cheese ripening boards is a rich source of antimicrobial-producing bacteria against Listeria monocytogenes

The paper identifies antimicrobial-producing bacteria in wooden cheese ripening boards that inhibit Listeria monocytogenes, with a focus on Bacillus safensis as a potential biocontrol agent.

The gut microbiome of the Passalid beetle has high cellulolytic potential and constitutes an unrecognized system for production of greenhouse gasses in neotropical forests

This study analyzes the gut microbiome of Passalid beetles, revealing high cellulolytic potential and significant methane production comparable to termites.
