The mechanism by which plants make starch-a vital foodstuff for billions of humans-is poorly understood, with a clear role for just one enzyme, granular binding starch synthase. A new study identifies a protein needed to recruit this enzyme to the starch granule. Read the Research Article.

Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular foodborne pathogen that can cause listeriosis in humans and animals. L. monocytogenes LM201 was isolated from foodstuff. The draft genome sequence of strain LM201 provides the genetic basis for the application of this strain in biotechnological vaccine production.

The whole-genome sequences of 15 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (10 strains isolated from foodstuff samples in Switzerland and five from human clinical samples) were obtained by Illumina sequencing. Most strains fit within the known diversity for the species, but one (SA-120) possessed a higher G+C content and a higher number of genes than usual.
