Assessment of the chemical and trace metal composition of dried cassava products from Nigeria por Abass, A., Awoyale, W., Alamu, Emmanuel Oladeji

“…The chemical and trace metal composition of six groups of commercial dried cassava products in Nigeria (gari, starch, tapioca, fufu, lafun and high-quality cassava flour) were evaluated to ascertain quality standard compliance and safety for human consumption. In total, 340 samples of the dried products collected based on their popularity in the Humid forest (92), Derived savannah (234) and Southern Guinea savannah (14) agroecologies were analysed using standard analytical methods. …”

Erwinia amylovora Novel Plasmid pEI70: Complete Sequence, Biogeography, and Role in Aggressiveness in the Fire Blight Phytopathogen por Llop, Pablo, Cabrefiga, Jordi, Smits, Theo H. M., Dreo, Tanja, Barbé, Silvia, Pulawska, Joanna, Bultreys, Alain, Blom, Jochen, Duffy, Brion, Montesinos, Emilio, López, María M.

“…Annotation revealed a lack of known virulence-related genes, but found evidence for a unique integrative conjugative element related to that of other plant and human pathogens. Comparative analyses using BLASTN showed that pEI70 is almost entirely included in plasmid pEB102 from E. billingiae, an epiphytic Erwinia of pome fruits, with sequence identities superior to 98%. …”
