Five strains, VB23, VB24, VB25, VB26 and VB31, were isolated from chimpanzee (), cotton-top tamarin (), Goeldi's marmoset (), moustached tamarin () and patas monkey (), respectively, which were kept in two Czech zoos. These strains were isolated from faecal samples and were Gram-positive, non-motile, non-sporulating, anaerobic and fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA revealed close relatedness between VB23 and LMG 11039 (96.0 %), VB24 and subsp. DSM 20433 (96.1 %), VB25 and LMG 30939 (96.5 %), VB26 and LMG 30297 (98.1 %), and VB31 and . LMG 11039 (99.40 %). Internal transcribed spacer profiling revealed that VB23, VB24, VB25, VB26 and VB31 had highest similarity to LMG 13208 (77.2 %), subsp. ATCC 15697 (85.8 %), DSM 23969 (76.9 %), LMG 13208 (81.2 %) and LMG 11039 (88.2 %), respectively. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) analyses with their closest neighbours supported the independent phylogenetic positions of the strains with values between 86.3 and 94.3 % for ANI and 25.8 and 54.9 % for dDDH. These genomic and phylogenetic analyses suggested that the evaluated strains were novel species named sp. nov. (VB31=DSM 109960=CCUG 73843), sp. nov. (VB25=DSM 109958=CCUG 73842), sp. nov. (VB24=DSM 109957=CCUG 73932), sp. nov. (VB26=DSM 109959=CCUG 73845) and sp. nov. (VB23=DSM 109963=CCUG 73840).

Background: Strain Cyp38S was isolated as an endophyte from the plant Cyperus alternifolius, collected along the banks of the River Nile in 2019. Preliminary analysis tentatively identified Cyp38S as belonging to the genus Pseudocitrobacter.
Methods: The preliminary identification of Cyp38S was performed using the VITEK2 identification system, MALDI-TOF-MS, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Background And Aims: To assess the relationship between body composition indicators and inflammatory biomarkers in children and adolescents of the GENOBOX study.
Methods And Results: Anthropometry data from 264 subjects from the subsample of Zaragoza (Spain) included: weight, height, waist circumference, body mass index and triponderal index. Body composition was determined by Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), obtaining visceral adipose tissue, fat mass index and lean mass index.

Background And Aims: The adipocyte-derived adiponectin (APN) has potent insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory properties. The adipose tissue is known to be the main source for APN in the circulation, but sites and mechanisms which remove APN from blood are still unknown in humans.
Methods And Results: We reviewed APN data obtained in previous studies in which the inter-organ exchange of amino acids and cytokines was measured in our laboratory.

Previous studies showed no improvement in bacterial biomass for Puniceispirillum marinum IMCC1322 under light regimes. Nevertheless, in nutrient-replete cultures with higher inoculating cell densities, strain IMCC1322 exhibited proteorhodopsin photoheterotrophy. Increasing both inoculum size and the amino acid pool can eliminate quorum sensing and starvation responses in strain IMCC1322.

is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium typically found in the oropharynx and respiratory tract of humans. It is responsible for various infections, including head-and-neck infections, pericarditis, and abscesses of the deltoid, perirenal tissue, brain, and liver. Increasing antibiotic resistance requires urgent identification of novel drug targets to fight this bacterium.
