Salmonella is a widely distributed foodborne pathogen. The use of phages as biocontrol agents has recently gained significant interest. Because the genus high diversity, efforts are necessary to identify lytic focusing on different serovars. Here, five were isolated from soil samples, and vB_SalP_TR2 was selected novel phage with potential against host serovar Albany, well other tested serovars, including Corvallis, Newport, Kottbus, Istanbul. Morphological analyses demonstrated that belongs...

Bifidobacterium , an important genus for human health, is difficult to isolate. We applied metagenomics, pangenomics, and enzymology determine the dominant glycoside hydrolase (GH) families of designed selective medium isolation. Pangenomics results showed that GH13, GH3, GH42, GH43 were highly conserved in . Metagenomic analysis GH faecal samples was performed. The indicated contains core GHs utilizing raffinose, D-trehalose anhydrous, D(+)-cellobiose, melibiose, lactulose, lactose,...
