Consuming raw or undercooked mussels can lead to gastroenteritis and septicemia due to contamination. This study analyzed the prevalence, density, species diversity, and molecular traits of spp. in 48 fresh raw wild mussels (FRMs) and 48 ready-to-eat stuffed mussels (RTE-SMs) through genome analysis, assessing health risks. The results showed prevalence rates of 12.5% in FRMs and 4.2% in RTE-SMs, with as the most common species (46.7%). It was determined that the seasonal distribution of spp. prevalence in the samples was higher in the summer months. The genome sizes of the spp. ranged from approximately 3.9 to 6.1 Mb, with the GC contents varying between 41.9% and 50.4%. A total of 22 virulence factor (VF) classes and up to six antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were detected in different species. The presence of nine different biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), 27 prophage regions, and eight CRISPR/Cas systems in 15 strains provides information about their potential pathogenicity, survival strategies, and adaptation to different habitats. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the genomic diversity of spp. isolated from FRM and RTE-SM samples, shedding light on the prevalence, pathogenicity, and toxicity mechanisms of -induced gastroenteritis.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are usually found in food-producing animals worldwide. Ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic, can lead to antibiotic residues in food products, posing health risks to consumers and contributing to the development of antimicrobial resistance. Foodborne illnesses occur when adequate attention is not paid to food hygiene and safety, raising the potential for resistant bacteria to spread to humans through the food chain.

Sodium carbonate is an abundant, low-cost, and low-hazard raw material widely used as a food additive and CO absorbent in the food industry. However, its application in food packaging is limited because it is used in solid form, either in sachets or as a compounding ingredient in plastics. Solid sodium carbonate requires an external moisture supply for CO absorption, with its performance dependent on moisture availability.

Introduction: Sweet potato is an important food, feed and industrial raw material, and its tubers are rich in starch, carotenoids and anthocyanins.
Methods: To elucidate the gene expression regulation and metabolic characteristics during the development of sweet potato tubers, transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were performed on the tubers of three different sweet potato varieties at three developmental stages (70, 100, and 130 days (d)).
Results: RNA-seq analysis revealed that 16,303 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were divided into 12 clusters according to their expression patterns, and the pathways of each cluster were annotated.
Gliomas are a prevalent form of primary malignant brain tumor, yet the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis remain unclear. This study aimed to identify new genetic targets linked to glioma by analyzing microarray datasets to uncover genetic factors involved in its onset and progression. We obtained two independent glioma datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, processed and normalized them using R software, and evaluated the relationship between differentially expressed genes and glioma by differential expression, expression quantitative trait loci, and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.
