Along with steadily growing research in Cannabis healthcare science, there is an increasing interest for scientific-based knowledge in plant microbiology and food science, with work connecting the plant microbiome and plant health to product quality across the value chain of cannabis. This review paper provides an overview of the state of knowledge and challenges in Cannabis science, and thereby identifies critical risk management and safety issues in order to capitalize on innovations while ensuring product quality control. It highlights scientific gap areas to steer future research, with an emphasis on plant-microbiome sciences committed to using cutting-edge technologies for more efficient Cannabis production and high-quality products intended for recreational, pharmaceutical, and medicinal use. Keywords: Cannabis; microbiome; NCBI and USDA databases; omics; risk management; safety 1. Introduction The course of Cannabis science has been a top-down process, with the effects of the plant on humans and animals being tested before conducting extensive agronomic and ecological studies.

Photos courtesy of the Forestry Commission. http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/forestresearch.nsf/ByUnique/INFD- 6L4GBT Background Stem bleeding on horse chestnut trees caused by Phytophthora citricola and P. cactorum was first observed in the early 1970s in the United Kingdom and other European countries (Brasier and Strouts, 1976; Green et al., 2009). Since 2002, the 1 Last Update: February 2, 2011 number of horse chestnuts with bleeding canker, however, has dramatically increased and the disease has become severe in some parts of Europe. Initial assumptions that a Phytophthora species was the primary causal agent were refuted when the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi was proven to be associated with the recent spread of the disease in the United Kingdom (Webber et al., 2007). Pest Description Pseudomonas syringae is a rod-shaped gram negative bacterium with polar flagellae (Mabbett, 2007). P. syringae exists as over 50 pathovars (strains) infecting a wide range of plants that fall within nine genomospecies (Gardan, 1999). Pathovars are genetically distinct but morphologically the same and primarily differentiated by host range.

  • Antibiotic Resistant Pseudomonas Spp. Spoilers in Fresh Dairy Products: an Underestimated Risk and the Control Strategies
    foods Review Antibiotic Resistant Pseudomonas Spp. Spoilers in Fresh Dairy Products: An Underestimated Risk and the Control Strategies Laura Quintieri , Francesca Fanelli * and Leonardo Caputo Institute of Sciences of Food Production, National Research Council of Italy, Via G. Amendola 122/O, 70126 Bari, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0805929317 Received: 19 July 2019; Accepted: 23 August 2019; Published: 1 September 2019 Abstract: Microbial multidrug resistance (MDR) is a growing threat to public health mostly because it makes the fight against microorganisms that cause lethal infections ever less effective. Thus, the surveillance on MDR microorganisms has recently been strengthened, taking into account the control of antibiotic abuse as well as the mechanisms underlying the transfer of antibiotic genes (ARGs) among microbiota naturally occurring in the environment. Indeed, ARGs are not only confined to pathogenic bacteria, whose diffusion in the clinical field has aroused serious concerns, but are widespread in saprophytic bacterial communities such as those dominating the food industry. In particular, fresh dairy products can be considered a reservoir of Pseudomonas spp. resistome, potentially transmittable to consumers. Milk and fresh dairy cheeses products represent one of a few “hubs” where commensal or opportunistic pseudomonads frequently cohabit together with food microbiota and hazard pathogens even across their manufacturing processes. Pseudomonas spp., widely studied for food spoilage effects, are instead underestimated for their possible impact on human health. Recent evidences have highlighted that non-pathogenic pseudomonads strains (P. fluorescens, P. putida) are associated with some human diseases, but are still poorly considered in comparison to the pathogen P. aeruginosa.

  • Aquatic Microbial Ecology 80:15
    The following supplement accompanies the article Isolates as models to study bacterial ecophysiology and biogeochemistry Åke Hagström*, Farooq Azam, Carlo Berg, Ulla Li Zweifel *Corresponding author: [email protected] Aquatic Microbial Ecology 80: 15–27 (2017) Supplementary Materials & Methods The bacteria characterized in this study were collected from sites at three different sea areas; the Northern Baltic Sea (63°30’N, 19°48’E), Northwest Mediterranean Sea (43°41'N, 7°19'E) and Southern California Bight (32°53'N, 117°15'W). Seawater was spread onto Zobell agar plates or marine agar plates (DIFCO) and incubated at in situ temperature. Colonies were picked and plate- purified before being frozen in liquid medium with 20% glycerol. The collection represents aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from pelagic waters. Bacteria were grown in media according to their physiological needs of salinity. Isolates from the Baltic Sea were grown on Zobell media (ZoBELL, 1941) (800 ml filtered seawater from the Baltic, 200 ml Milli-Q water, 5g Bacto-peptone, 1g Bacto-yeast extract). Isolates from the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern California Bight were grown on marine agar or marine broth (DIFCO laboratories). The optimal temperature for growth was determined by growing each isolate in 4ml of appropriate media at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50o C with gentle shaking. Growth was measured by an increase in absorbance at 550nm. Statistical analyses The influence of temperature, geographical origin and taxonomic affiliation on growth rates was assessed by a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in R (http://www.r-project.org/) and the “car” package.
