The marine diatoms spp. are globally distributed primary producers, with certain species capable of producing neurotoxin domoic acid (DA), causing amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). This study investigates the toxicity and growth rates of species isolated from aquaculture areas in the Central Adriatic Sea. A total of 54 strains from eight species were analysed, with strains originating from four different study sites. Growth rates and toxin production were examined across different growth phases in other species and strains. Most species, including , , , , , , and , did not produce DA at any growth phase. The only species that showed toxin production, at 18 °C was (0.0007-0.0250 pg cell). Notably, the majority of strains were toxic in the decay phase and some strains showed continuous toxin production throughout all growth phases. The highest growth rates for the analysed species were recorded in strains of which also exhibited the highest cell abundance (8.19 × 10 cell mL), followed by the species , and

There is a lack of longitudinal data on type 2 diabetes (T2D) in low- and middle-income countries. We leveraged the electronic health records (EHR) system of a publicly funded academic institution to establish a retrospective cohort with longitudinal data to facilitate benchmarking, surveillance, and resource planning of a multi-ethnic T2D population in Malaysia. This cohort included 15,702 adults aged ≥ 18 years with T2D who received outpatient care (January 2002-December 2020) from Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Gram-negative bacterium Campylobacter jejuni is part of the commensal gut microbiota of numerous animal species and a leading cause of bacterial foodborne illness in humans. Most complete genomes of C. jejuni are from strains isolated from human clinical, poultry, and ruminant samples.

This is the first report on the functional potential of Akhuni, an ethnic food of Northeast India, against diabetes. Akhuni is a traditional fermented soybean product known for its umami taste and delicacy, commonly used in the cuisine of Northeast India. Treatment with ethanolic extract of Akhuni (AKET) for 8 weeks decreased glucose levels in the blood, increased body mass and enhanced the ability to tolerate glucose dose-dependently in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice in comparison with the group of diabetic control mice (DBC).

Patulin (PAT), a mycotoxin primarily produced by Penicillium species, presents a serious food safety challenge due to its widespread occurrence and harmful health effects. Among current detoxification approaches, yeast-based degradation is particularly promising, offering high efficiency, environmental sustainability, and preservation of food quality-key attributes for industrial application. However, the enzymatic pathways involved and the potential for concurrent quality enhancement remain poorly understood.
