TL;DR: This review aims at helping scientists in finding the most appropriate and up-to-date methods to study their biofilms by giving a critical perspective, highlighting the advantages and limitations of several methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the potential of multispectral imaging supported by multivariate data analysis for the detection of minced beef fraudulently substituted with pork and vice versa.

TL;DR: Glucose was added to minced meat and stored under aerobic or a modified atmosphere composed of 80% O2 and 20% CO2 to assess the effects of carbohydrate on the microbial association and the chemical properties of the meat.

TL;DR: Progress in biomarker identification and characterization has already opened the possibility of making qualitative or even quantitative connection between process and formulation conditions and microbial responses at the strain level, and new generations of strain-level models will bring an added value in predicting the variability in pathogen behaviour.

TL;DR: Lactobacillus rennini and LactobACillus acidipiscis were found to be the sole microbial species in Kopanisti cheese and Mana, and Thermophilic lactobacilli and thermophilic cocci were the best milk acidifiers, whereas thermophiles were the most proteolytic isolates.
