Article
Staphylococcus sciuri is considered to be one of the most ancestral species in the natural history of the Staphylococcus genus that consists of 48 validly described species. It belongs to the basal group of oxidase-positive and novobiocin-resistant staphylococci that diverged from macrococci approximately 250 million years ago. Contrary to other gr...

Brevibacterium constitutes a ubiquitous range of species for which only the halotolerant sulfur aroma production has been utilized in the dairy food industry. Recently, however, a wide range of new isolates from different environments including soil, sediment, and seawater has been assigned to this genus. Since these isolates show quite diverse met...

The Vibrio splendidus clade has previously been associated with epidemic outbreaks of various aquatic animals, as in the case of the cupped oyster, Crassostrea gigas. To investigate whether involved strains could present a clonal origin and to identify possible alternative background carriage animals or zooplankton, a large epidemiological survey w...

Many bacteria in the environment have adapted to the presence of toxic heavy metals. Over the last 30 years, this heavy metal tolerance was the subject of extensive research. The bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans strain CH34, originally isolated by us in 1976 from a metal processing factory, is considered a major model organism in this field beca...

The production of red smear cheeses involves a common step of smearing i.e. the inoculation of young unripened cheeses by a given but still often undefined ripening microflora. This step is essential for (but not restricted to) the maintenance of reproducible organoleptic and textural properties of the cheese along time. As recently demonstrated in...
