Revised safety evaluation of the food enzyme endo‐1,3(4)‐β‐glucanase from the non‐genetically modified Cellulosimicrobium funkei strain AE‐TN by EFSA Panel on Food Enzymes (FEZ), Holger Zorn, José Manuel Barat Baviera, Claudia Bolognesi, Francesco Catania, Gabriele Gadermaier, Ralf Greiner, Baltasar Mayo, Alicja Mortensen, Yrjö Henrik Roos, Marize Solano, Monika Sramkova, Henk Van Loveren, Laurence Vernis, Simone Lunardi, Yi Liu

“…As a follow‐up, the applicant improved the quality assurance system by introducing a pressure check of the microfiltration step of the food enzyme manufacturing process and the production strain was no longer detected in new food enzyme batches. The Panel accepted the results. Based on the new data and the previous evaluation, the Panel concluded that the food enzyme endo‐1,3(4)‐β‐glucanase produced with the non‐GM C. funkei strain AE‐TN does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.…”

Integrating pollinators’ movements into pollination models by Juliane Mailly, Louise Riotte-Lambert, Mathieu Lihoreau

“…Building upon a brief review of pollination and movement models, we argue that we need to better consider pollinators’ cognition to improve predictions of animal-mediated pollination across all spatial scales, from individual flowers, to plants, habitat patches and landscapes. We propose a practical roadmap for the integration of behavioural models into pollination models and discuss how this synthesis can refine predictions regarding plant mating patterns and fitness. …”
