TL;DR: Findings increase the understanding of the mechanism underlying the origin of 2,4,6-TCA on cork, which is poorly understood despite its great economic importance for the wine industry, and they could also help improve the knowledge about the biodegradation and detoxification processes associated with chlorinated phenols.

TL;DR: Three genes encoding a typical beta‐lactamase, a penicillin‐binding protein (PBP4) and a transmembrane protein are located in the cluster of cephamycin biosynthetic genes in Nocardia lactamdurans, which supports the hypothesis that antibiotic resistance genes in pathogenic bacteria are derived from antibiotic‐producing organisms.

TL;DR: Results suggest that guaiacol-mediated cork taint should be attributed to the degradative action of vanillic acid by bacterial strains growing on cork.

TL;DR: Different actinobacterial isolates, when applied to grafts in a nursery, can significantly reduce the infection rate caused by fungal pathogens that enter through the root system of young grapevines in nurseries and vineyards.

TL;DR: A novel S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferase catalyzing the O methylation of several chlorophenols and other halogenated phenols was purified 220-fold to apparent homogeneity from mycelia of Trichoderma longibrachiatum CECT 20431.
