Description
Katerina Vyklicka and co-authors study sugar effects on a food-poisoning bacterium in a 2025 paper. Bacillus cereus contaminates stored food and human milk. It can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea, mainly in infants.
Growth was tested at several temperatures with six sugars. Toxin gene activity was tracked alongside growth rates. RNA sequencing profiled the full gene response in chosen cultures. Metabolites in the cultures were measured by a separation method. The question is practical: storage conditions shape toxin risk. Readers in food safety learn which sugars feed growth and which stir toxin genes.
