The herbicide glyphosate, N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine, has been used extensively in the
past 40 years, under the assumption that side effects were minimal. However, in recent …

Glyphosate is the most used herbicide globally. It is a unique non-selective herbicide with a
mode of action that is ideal for vegetation management in both agricultural and non …

The herbicide glyphosate interferes with the shikimate pathway in plants and in major
groups of microorganisms impeding the production of aromatic amino acids. Glyphosate …

Absent in animals and with only seven enzymatic reactions toward the synthesis of
chorismate and aromatic amino acids, the shikimate pathway is a crucial target for …

The shikimate pathway enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) is
the target of the broad spectrum herbicide glyphosate. The genetic engineering of EPSPS …

Coxiella burnetii is a highly infectious bacterium and potential agent of bioterrorism.
However, it has not been studied as extensively as other biological agents, and very few of …

Roughly a third of the world's population is estimated to have latent Mycobacterium
tuberculosis infection, being at risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB) during their …

The herbicide glyphosate has been widely used in the past 40 years, under the assumption
that side effects were minimal. In recent years, its impact on microbial compositions and …

Here, we examined whether glyphosate affects the microbiota of herbivores feeding on non-
target plants. Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) were reared on potato …

Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) use has increased drastically over the last decade. This
is true especially for potato crops due to their fast harvest cycle and high market demand. In …
