THE ROLE OF THE SURFACE SMEAR MICROBIOME IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEFECTIVE SMEAR ON SURFACE-RIPENED RED-SMEAR CHEESE

The role of the surface smear microbiome in the development of defective smear on surface-ripened red-smear cheese

The complex smear microbiota colonizing the surface of red-smear cheese fundamentally impacts the ripening process, appearance and shelf life of cheese.To decipher the prokaryotic composition of the cheese smear microbiome, the surface of a semi-hard surface ripened cheese was studied post-ripening by culture-based and culture-independent molecular

Phosphorus fractions in soils with distinct mineralogy and their relationship with phosphate buffer capacity indicators in Brazil

Phosphorus (P) is one Boys Hats of the most important elements used in fertilizing soils in tropical regions due to the low efficiency of phosphate fertilization.This work aimed to fractionate inorganic P (Pi) in tropical soils of different mineralogical compositions and to relate these fractions with their respective phosphate buffer capacity (PBC
