Enterococcus mundtii has rarely been isolated from environmental or human sources. We report the identification of E. mundtii as a pathogen of human infectious disease by DNA sequencing of 16S rRNA and sodA genes in a case of endophthalmitis developed in a 66-year-old immunocompetent gardener.

Oriented bioconversion of food waste to lactic acid for external carbon source production: Microbial communities and comparison of denitrification performance.
Bioresour Technol

Chengdu Environmental Investment Group Co., Ltd, Chengdu 610042, Sichuan, China.
Article Synopsis
- The lactic acid fermentation supernatant from food waste (FSFW-LA) serves as an effective and cost-efficient carbon source for denitrification.
- The study developed five types of liquid carbon sources, with FSFW-LA achieving a concentration of 68.1 g/L lactic acid, which competes well with sodium acetate in denitrification performance.
- Long-term experiments showed that adding FSFW-LA to a Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) system resulted in excellent removal rates of total nitrogen (96%) and chemical oxygen demand (84%) in wastewater, highlighting its potential for economic carbon source production.
Decontamination of Fused-Silica Surfaces by UVC Irradiation as Potential Application on Touchscreens.

The contamination of surfaces by antibiotic-resistant pathogens presents an escalating challenge, especially on touchscreens in public settings such as hospitals, airports, and means of transport. Traditional chemical cleaning agents are often ineffective and leave behind harmful residues. Thus, the application of optical radiation is gaining relevance as a rapid, effective, and environmentally friendly disinfection method.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the gut microbiota of captive Asian elephants in Yunnan Province, China, to understand the influence of environmental and husbandry factors on microbial diversity.
- Fecal samples from 29 elephants were analyzed using advanced sequencing techniques, revealing differences in microbial community composition across different locations.
- Results indicate that habitat and care practices significantly affect gut microbiota, suggesting that improving these conditions could promote better health for endangered Asian elephants.
Role of Enterococcus mundtii in gut of the tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta) to detoxification of Chlorantraniliprole.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers isolated seven strains of bacteria from the gut of CAP-resistant T. absoluta, with Enterococcus mundtii E14 showing the greatest ability to tolerate and degrade CAP into non-toxic compounds.
- * The study found that E. mundtii E14 enhances T. absoluta's resistance to CAP, highlighting the significance of gut symbionts in pest management and providing insights into combatting pesticide resistance.

Insect guts offer unique habitats for microbial colonization, with gut bacteria potentially offering numerous benefits to their hosts. Although Enterococcus has emerged as one of the predominant gut commensal bacteria in insects, its establishment in various niches within the gut has not been characterized well. In this study, Enterococcus mundtii was inoculated into the silkworm (Bombyx mori L.
