New dataset on bacterial and fungal communities of table olives.

Posted on by

A new dataset with a collection of published metataxonomic studies on bacterial communities of table olives has just been released. You can find it here:

https://github.com/ep142/Metaolive

You can use it with your own data and obtain quantitative comparisons of microbial communities of table olives and their environments in published studies. All new data produced in our METAolive project will end up here. The dataset is extracted from FoodMicrobionet v5.

If you want to see a use case checkout our poster presented at the Food Systems Microbiomes meeting, held in Turin from 14/5 to 17/5.

This project is co-funded by Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca PRIN 2022, proposal 2022NN28ZZ, and received funding from the European Union Next-GenerationEU – PIANO NAZIONALE DI RIPRESA E RESILIENZA (PNRR).

FoodMicrobionet 5 is now available!

The new major version includes (finally) fungi. As usual, you can find everything you need:

This version is currently co-funded by Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca PRIN 2022 PNRR, proposal P20229JMMH, Mining the biodiversity of non conventional yeasts as bioresources for innovative fermented beverages through a genomics, and received funding from the European Union Next-GenerationEU (PIANO NAZIONALE DI RIPRESA E RESILIENZA (PNRR)) CUP C53D23007560001

FoodMicrobionet 4.2.1 is now available

Posted on by

I have just released a new version of FoodMicrobionet. Version 4.2.1 includes 233 studies and 13895 food and food environment samples. New tables have been added (Abstracts table) and metadata for studies (a study_type field now provides a classification in longitudinal cross-sectional or mixed for the study design) have been improved. You can access the new version:

  • on GitHub: data in the the_real_thing folder, plus a bunch of scripts
  • on Zenodo: here you can find the mindata files, with ASV sequences
  • on Mendeley data (the most recent version is in moderation, reserved DOI 10.17632/8fwwjpm79y.8)

Share (using the DOIs provided by Mendeley data and Zenodo) and enjoy. You can find the most recent publications on FMBN here.

New Foodmicrobionet publication

Posted on by
Our last publication obtained using data in FoodMicrobionet is:
Parente, E., Zotta, T., Giavalisco, M., Ricciardi, A., 2023. Metataxonomic insights in the distribution of Lactobacillaceae in foods and food environments. Int J Food Microbiol 110124. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110124
The code is pretty general and the work can be easily replicated for any other microbial group in FoodMicrobionet.
You can download a free .pdf (until 5/4/2023) here https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1gerCcF3iFHfL
