Article Abstract
The structure of a new exopolysaccharide from the virulent strain of Cryphonectria parasitica was elucidated by means of 2D NMR spectroscopy and selective degradations (mild hydrolysis and acetolysis). The polysaccharide is built up of mannose, galactose and rhamnose and has a rather complex non-repetitive structure that can be idealised as follows:

The present study focuses on the phenotypic characterization of several mutants of Flavobacterium psychrophilum, obtained from a transposon mutant library. This Gram-negative bacterium is the etiological agent of the "cold water disease", pathology that usually affects salmonids, mainly Oncorhynchus mykiss. This microorganism is considered a "fastidious bacterium" due to the difficulty to isolate it.

Biofilm formation and other virulence phenotypes under quorum sensing regulation play a vital role in the pathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila, triggering the emergence of multi-drug resistance (MDR) which increases fish mortality, environmental issues, and economic loss in aquaculture, necessitating the discovery of novel drugs to bypass standard antibiotics. Here, quorum quenching (QQ) may be a sustainable anti-virulent approach. β-Lactamase enzyme obtained from Chromohalobacter sp.

Limosilactobacillus fermentum CRL2085, isolated from feedlot cattle rations, displayed high efficiency as a probiotic when administered to animals. A comprehensive genomic analysis was performed to elucidate the genetic basis underlying its probiotic potential. Fifteen genomic islands and CRISPR-Cas elements were identified in its genome.

Kingella kingae is a Gram-negative bacterium that has emerged as a leading cause of invasive disease in children between 6 months and 4 years of age. K. kingae initiates infection by colonizing the oropharynx, then breaches the oropharyngeal epithelium, enters the bloodstream, and disseminates to distant sites to cause disease, including osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and endocarditis.
