Spanish authorities have expanded a warning about Salmonella in raw milk cheese after several people fell sick
The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) reported five cases linked to raw milk sheep’s cheese from Spain
There are likely many more sick people than have been confirmed
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that for every confirmed patient
Officials in Catalonia initially informed AESAN through the Coordinated System for the Rapid Exchange of Information (SCIRI) of the presence of Salmonella Enteritidis in soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk from the Casa Mateu brand
The affected 400-gram cheese was distributed in Valencia and Catalonia
Authorities advised people who had the product referred to in the alert not to consume it
As part of investigations into the outbreak of salmonellosis in Catalonia
another soft cheese made with raw sheep’s milk from the Formatgeria Mas d’Eroles brand has tested positive for Salmonella
The 400-gram product implicated has the name Trevol on the label
Relevant information has been sent to local authorities through SCIRI to verify the removal of affected products from the market
The Coordination Centre for Health Alerts and Emergencies (CCAES)
a body of the Spanish Ministry of Health in charge of the national coordination of public health alerts
will be used to report the existence of other possible cases
Two recent Salmonella outbreaks have also hit Spain
Another in Madrid affected 16 people and was linked to a sauce made using eggs at a burger restaurant
Listeria investigationIn a separate incident
a meat product was recalled as investigations continued into a case of Listeriosis
The Ministry of Health and Consumption in Andalucia reported that Listeria monocytogenes had been detected in a meat product distributed in the provinces of Cadiz
and Seville by the company Fabrica de Embutidos La Serrana S.L.
The affected product has “Zurrapa Blanca” on the label with batch 211123 and an expiration date of Nov
The one sick person is a 49-year-old man from El Arahal in Seville
who was discharged from hospital on July 26
An inspection and sampling at the production site have revealed a second affected product
Listeria was found in Iberian salchichón batch 100724
The company has suspended certain production operations and is holding some of its inventory while investigations are ongoing
Officials have also asked the firm to supply testing results before sausage production was stopped

«The enjoyment of bulería as the backbone of a feeling. A display of trapío and flamenco. The joy, the mockery, the fun. The counterpoint to the complaint and the dark lament of a seguiriya. The fun, the party, the joke, the hustle, the age… Vertebrado is a superb, sublime montage»
A nod to the uniqueness of the singer Fernando de la Morena, another to the bohemianism of Luis de la Pica, to Jerez, to Lebrija, to Utrera. Manuel de la Nina giving it his all, the bronze throat of El Pechuguita shining in the hubbub, the soniquetazo of the splendorous guitar of Jesús's fat strumming and the dancing of Juan Tomás. These were the preparations for the stew. With its pringá.

Corrigendum: A long-awaited taxogenomic investigation of the family Halomonadaceae
The family Halomonadaceae is the largest family composed of halophilic bacteria
with more than 160 species with validly published names as of July 2023
Several classifications to circumscribe this family are available in major resources
such as those provided by the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)
and Bergey’s Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB)
with some degree of disagreement between them
the genus Halomonas is not phylogenetically consistent
likely because it has been used as a catch-all for newly described species within the family Halomonadaceae that could not be clearly accommodated in other Halomonadaceae genera
some taxonomic rearrangements have been conducted on the Halomonadaceae based on ribosomal and alternative single-copy housekeeping gene sequence analysis
High-throughput technologies have enabled access to the genome sequences of many type strains belonging to the family Halomonadaceae; however
genome-based studies specifically addressing its taxonomic status have not been performed to date
we accomplished the genome sequencing of 17 missing type strains of Halomonadaceae species that
together with other publicly available genome sequences
allowed us to re-evaluate the genetic relationship
and taxonomy of the species and genera within this family
The approach followed included the estimate of the Overall Genome Relatedness Indexes (OGRIs) such as the average amino acid identity (AAI)
phylogenomic reconstructions using amino acid substitution matrices customized for the family Halomonadaceae
and the analysis of clade-specific signature genes
we conclude that the genus Halovibrio is obviously out of place within the family Halomonadaceae
we propose a division of the genus Halomonas into seven separate genera and the transfer of seven species from Halomonas to the genus Modicisalibacter
together with the emendation of the latter
data from this study demonstrate the existence of various synonym species names in this family
the 3 Oceanospirillaceae genera listed above
and an unnamed genus (TA22) based on environmental sequence data
GTDB also proposes the division of the genus Halomonas into five distinct genera (denoted with alphabetical suffixes) for a total of 22 genera in this family
there is some disagreement on the circumscription of this family
These observations point to the necessity of dividing the genus Halomonas and reclassifying some of its species
to establish the phylogenetic relationships among the members of this family and to propose taxonomic rearrangements accordingly
the number of species within the Halomonadaceae has doubled
and many of the type strains have a publicly available genome sequence
no studies specifically addressing the taxonomic status of the family Halomonadaceae in the genomic era have been conducted
and taxonomy of the species and genera within the present family Halomonadaceae
we considered various overall genome relatedness indexes (OGRIs) based on average nucleotide identity (ANI)
digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH)
core-protein average amino acid identity (cAAI)
and the core-genome and GTDB phylogenies together with a signature gene analysis
To resolve the polyphyly within the genus Halomonas
we propose a division of the genus into seven different genera and the reclassification of several Halomonas species into the genus Modicisalibacter
the present study demonstrated the need to exclude the genus Halovibrio from the family Halomonadaceae and the existence of nine synonym species across this family
All except one of the downloaded genomic data were assembled either at contig
The remaining one was only available in the NCBI SRA database
When more than one genome sequence was available for the same type strain
we selected the one with a better assessment of contig number
16S rRNA gene sequence presence and length
and the presence of 20 essential amino acids coded by distinct tRNA-coding genes
resulting in a final set of 161 genomes of type strains of the family Halomonadaceae
and the minimum percent identity between two amino acid sequences was set to 40%
The pangenome database containing orthologous gene clusters was employed to extract the gene family presence/absence matrix (“anvi-compute-functional-enrichment-in-pan” script) as well as the translated single-copy core genes present in at least 90% of the analyzed genomes
denoted as “core90” (“anvi-get-sequences-for-gene-clusters” script)
Model-based phylogenetic analyses of protein sequences strongly rely on amino acid substitution models, which are generally summarized in a 20-by-20 replacement matrix, designated as Q matrices. Since those matrices are computationally very expensive to estimate due to their high parametrization, they are not usually estimated during a phylogenetic analysis but selected from a pre-estimated set of Q matrices using model selection software (Minh et al., 2021)
we calculated an additional genome relatedness index denoted as cAAI
similar to AAI but based on the protein sequences of core orthologous gene families
the previously defined “core90” protein dataset (unaligned and untrimmed) was selected to calculate cAAI values with the “aai.rb” script
The gene family presence/absence matrix inferred from the pangenome was used to detect “signature genes,” which are defined as gene families exclusive to specific phylogenetic clades (phylogroups), that is, gene families present in all species of a clade and absent in all other species (Zheng et al., 2020)
aimed at testing different taxonomic arrangements and splitting into the family Halomonadaceae
and the remaining species under study were assigned to the phylogroup of the representative species with whom they shared a most recent common ancestor
The best-fit model selected by ModelFinder according to the BIC criterion to construct the tree was Q_core90 + C60 + F + R10
all the remaining genera within this family formed monophyletic groups
the genera Terasakiispira and primarily Halovibrio were by far the most distantly related to the other genera within Halomonadaceae
suggesting that they might not belong to this family (see below)
Clade collapsed maximum-likelihood phylogenomic tree based on the concatenation of the translated sequence of 189 single-copy genes shared by at least 90% of the members of the family Halomonadaceae under study (“core90” set)
The genus Pistricoccus is missing because no representative genome sequences from type strains of this genus were recovered
The number of species comprised within each clade is displayed
Ultrafast bootstrap values ≥70% are shown above the branches
Given the polyphyletic origin of the genus Halomonas and the heterogeneous characteristics of the species it harbors, we evaluated several proposals to split this genus into several genera with the following constraints: (i) the new proposed genera must be monophyletic; (ii) they must be supported by a 100% bootstrap value when possible; and (iii) they must fall within the relative evolutionary divergence (RED) interval defined for the rank of genus (Parks et al., 2018)
The first attempt (proposal I) was to divide the genus Halomonas into eight phylogroups
five of them denoted according to GTDB taxonomy as Halomonas (sensu stricto)
and three newly proposed phylogroups designated as Halomonas_G
as well as to transfer the species Halomonas coralii
and Halomonas zincidurans to the genus Modicisalibacter
Subsequent proposals were similar to this but included merging some of the previous phylogroups: proposal II = Halomonas (sensu stricto) + Halomonas_G; proposal III = Halomonas (sensu stricto) + Halomonas_G + Halomonas_H; proposal IV = Halomonas (sensu stricto) + Halomonas_G + Halomonas_H + Halomonas_I
It should be noted that proposal II involved the formation of a phylogroup (Halomonas + Halomonas_G) supported “only” by a 97% bootstrap
which does not meet the desired constraints indicated above but is high enough to consider this option of grouping
To select the best-fitting scenario for this genus reclassification among the above proposals
we performed further comparative genomic analyses
To evaluate the proposed phylogroups under the four scenarios, we plotted the all-vs-all AAI and cAAI results clustered by the phylogroup while distinguishing between intra-genus and inter-genus values (Figure 2). Theoretically, a well-delimited genus or phylogroup should not display any overlap between intra-clade and inter-clade AAI/cAAI values. As shown in Figure 2
all the currently existing genera within the family Halomonadaceae harboring more than a single species except Halomonas (sensu stricto) (i.e.
as well as the new phylogroups shared by the four proposals (Halomonas_B
and the enlarged Modicisalibacter) showed minimal or no overlap between the inter- and intra-cluster AAI and cAAI values
confirming their clear separation and exclusivity as different genera within this family
Box plot of the pairwise intra-clade and inter-clade AAI (A) and cAAI (B) values for the potential phylogroups/genera in the family Halomonadaceae
we believe that AAI and cAAI data may be useful for the delineation of most of the genera of the family Halomonadaceae
but they are not reliable for fine phylogroup demarcation within the genus Halomonas
The lowest intra-clade AAI and cAAI values for the current genera and proposals I
while the cutoffs for proposal IV were 65.5 and 73.2%
These threshold values might be useful for future genus circumscription within the family Halomonadaceae
signature genes enable estimates of the evolutionary forces that shaped the cluster
they might be of help to opt for one of the proposals over the others
phylogroup Halomonas_I was supported by five signature genes
Gene family presence/absence patterns inferred from the pangenome of the family Halomonadaceae arranged according to proposal II
Each column represents a gene family pattern
where presence is indicated with a dot in the corresponding species
The absolute number of gene families that conform to each pattern is visualized in the marginal bar plot at the top
Separations between phylogroups/genera are indicated with horizontal black lines and the representative species of each phylogroup/genus is highlighted in bold
Genes that were present in all genomes of a clade and in none of the genomes outside of that clade
denoted as “signature genes,” are displayed in dark blue; other genes are shown in light blue
Patterns of presence in a single species or all species are not shown
and Terasakiispira papahanaumokuakeensis were not considered members of the Halomonadaceae and were only used as an “outgroup”
Although signature gene analyses endorsed proposal II as the most reliable one to split the genus Halomonas
this proposal involves the creation of a cluster with “only” a 97% branch bootstrap
While this support value cannot be regarded as too low
we attempted to establish a long-term and trustworthy classification of the family for which only 100% supported phylogroups are preferred
This concern raises questions about the suitability of proposal II
making it necessary to provide some additional evidence to accept or reject it
genomes from non-type strains and MAGs were also included in this complementary reconstruction to evaluate tree topology preservation
GTDB-derived maximum-likelihood phylogenomic tree based on the concatenation of 120 single-copy bacterial proteins (“bac120” set) showing the relationships among members of the family Halomonadaceae and related taxa
The type strain of the species Pistricoccus aurantiacus is missing because no genome sequences from this strain could be recovered
The number of species in each cluster is displayed inside wedges
The most remarkable difference between our “core90” and “bac120” trees is the stronger support in the latter of the branch collapsing phylogroups Halomonas (sensu stricto) and Halomonas_G (corresponding to proposal II)
this 100% bootstrap value recovered in the “bac120” tree after merging both phylogroups
enables proposal II as the most appropriate to prune the genus Halomonas to the species comprising phylogroups Halomonas (sensu stricto) and Halomonas_G
while transferring the remaining species to six new genera and to the already described genus Modicisalibacter
GTDB taxonomy (release 08-RS214) has suggested the incorporation of these three genera into the family Halomonadaceae
even if they harbor marine (slight) halophiles in contrast to the majority of moderately halophilic bacteria characteristic of the family Halomonadaceae
it becomes clear that the genus Halovibrio should be kept apart from the family Halomonadaceae
while further investigation including genomic
and phenotypic comparisons is required to delineate the taxonomic affiliation of the genera Terasakiispira
two or more strains can be considered to belong to the same species if both ANI values are ≥96% and dDDH values are ≥70%
our results confirmed the existence of the following sets of heterotypic synonyms (ANI and dDDH values in parenthesis
ANI values (%) from pairwise whole-genome comparisons between the type strains of members of the family Halomonadaceae
The ANI percentages are expressed as a heatmap in purple color
Values supporting the proposed synonym species names are surrounded by a blue triangle
The comparative genomic analyses (phylogenomics
and signature genes) conducted among the type strains of the species of the family Halomonadaceae allow us to propose several taxonomic rearrangements within this family:
The genus Halomonas comprises the following species: H
The following species are transferred to the genus Modicisalibacter: “Halomonas coralii,” Halomonas ilicicola
as “Modicisalibacter coralii,” Modicisalibacter ilicicola
it has been necessary to extend the description of the genus Modicisalibacter
The remaining analyzed species of the genus Halomonas are reclassified into new genera belonging to the family Halomonadaceae as follows
where the type species of each genus is highlighted in bold
according to the rule of priority of publication:
• Genus Vreelandella (corresponding to the phylogroup Halomonas_I)
• Genus Bisbaumannia (corresponding to the phylogroup Halomonas_F)
• Genus Billgrantia (corresponding to the phylogroup Halomonas_H)
• Genus Franzmannia (corresponding to the phylogroup Halomonas_B)
• Genus Litchfieldella (corresponding to the phylogroup Halomonas_A)
• Genus Onishia (corresponding to the phylogroup Halomonas_E)
The genus Halovibrio should be excluded from the family Halomonadaceae
it should be transferred to the family Oleiphilaceae
The species whose genome sequence was not publicly available or could not be sequenced when this study was accomplished
together with the new species described after the finalization of this research
should be further studied to determine their correct placement according to the taxonomy proposed here or if they may constitute new genera within the family Halomonadaceae
we strongly recommend the use of the clade-specific amino acid substitution matrices Q_core90 and Q_bac120
empirically calculated for the family Halomonadaceae
for future phylogenomic studies within this family instead of the pre-computed Q matrices generally selected by model selection software

She is part of a famous family of flamenco artists; her grandfather was Fernando Fernández Monge “Terremoto de Jerez” and her father is singer Fernando Fernández Pantoja “Terremoto.”
María Terremoto has participated in many flamenco zambombas (Flamenco Christmas carols performed during Christmas in Jeerz) with her family
in which she unexpectedly became the central character of each performance
Maria was responsible for a crucial moment in her father’s life
when she performed on stage in the flamenco nightclub (tablao) that bears his name
That day will be evoked forever by all who were there
Fernando passed the artistic torch to his daughter Maria in what would be his final farewell to the stage
Maria began to make infrequent performances in Jerez
she began to perform more often and traveled outside of Jerez
making her mark in the jondo (flamenco deep roots) scene
María gave a flamenco performance at the Palacio de Villavicencio that left everyone astonished
That moment generated unparalleled press acclaim for such a young artist
This performance was the beginning of a tour of flamenco clubs and major festivals
La Caracolá Lebrijana and the Flamenco Fridays of Jerez
Maria performed a concert at Seville’s Flamenco biennial that many have called historic
she was the youngest artist to ever be awarded the high-status ‘Giraldillo Revelación 2016’ prize
which catapulted her to the vanguard of the flamenco scene
In 2018 she received the prestigious ‘Venencia Flamenca’
an award given by the Flamenco community ‘El pozo de las penas’
María made the rounds on the most prestigious stages throughout Spain
María Terremoto released her first album: “La huella de mi sentío” (IR Music
The album was officially debuted at La Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla
Maria liet meteen al bij de eerste keer dat ik haar zag een verpletterende indruk op me achter
Ik zag haar op internet optreden voor het ´Gala Miquel Poveda y Amigos´ (Barcelona 2017) samen met Poveda en de weergaloze danser Antonio La Pipa
de laatste is in zijn stijl onweerlegbaar de meest expressieve danser van dit moment (en dat ondanks zijn lengte…)
ondanks toen nog wel nog wat foutjes en onzuiverheden in haar zang
waar ik vervolgens als een Mickey Mouse platgeslagen naar beneden gleed
Er zijn namelijk maar weinig echt en van top tot teen geloofwaardige muzikanten in de wereld en je moet als ´tweebener´ echt het geluk hebben dat je gedurende je ´ontvankelijke jaren´ samen met zo´n onweerlegbaar toptalent als musicus mag bestaan
Rory Gallagher was zo iemand (jaren 70 vorige eeuw) in de popmuziek
waarbij de laatste vooral bij Cante Grande tot haar recht komt
zijn dat voor de Flamenco in het huidige tijdperk
Daar valt natuurlijk altijd wel wat op af te dingen
maar dan moet je wel met héél goede argumenten komen

caused flash flooding in the provinces of Malaga
A train was derailed near Seville with at least 21 people injured
Local media said the derailment was caused by the heavy rain
including Jerez in Cadiz, Badolatosa in Seville
Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET) said that Grazalema in Cádiz recorded the highest levels of rainfall for the day
Osuna in Seville recorded 81.0 mm and several locations in Grenada recorded more that 60 mm of rain during the same period
Most of the rain fell in the space of a few hours during the morning and afternoon
AEMET issued orange level warnings for heavy rain from 28 November
A train on the Málaga-Seville line was derailed between the stations of El Sorbito and Arahal in Seville. Media reports suggest the train derailment was a result of heavy rain
Emergency services in the region said that over 20 people were injured in the derailment
At least 2 of the injuries were serious and victims were taken to hospital via helicopter
Elsewhere in the province, areas of the town of Badolatosa were flooded after the Genil river broke its banks, according to local media
the worst hit areas was the small town of Campillos
where a small river overflowed flooding areas of the town and damaging houses
the local council said that rainfall had led to the spread of a creek that passes through the locality
resulting in problems in some points in the lower area of Campillos
The Council’s operational services were working fully to alleviate the damage
was concerned that the creek had not been cleared recently and a blockage had caused the flooding. He said:
“The main trigger of this situation has been the dirt that had the creek channel on the outskirts of the municipality
This has led to an overflow in the village and has generated all these incidents
On 17 October we asked for the (Andalusia) environment (department)
to clean the section of the creek that lies outside of Campillos
Today we have not yet received an answer and that inaction by the government of Andalusia is now having these remarkable consequences for Campillos and its citizens.”
firefighters were called out to 30 flooded locations after the heavy rain
At least eighteen calls for help were for homes Jerez de la Frontera
Flooded houses were also reported in Olvera
said it has responded to around 20 flood emergencies in Grenada

The third carriage of the train between Malaga and Seville derailed at 10.21 this morning at Arahal
The train had left Malaga at 7.40am and was carrying 79 passengers at the time of the accident
Heavy rain is believed to have been the cause of the derailment
The track had been closed earlier because of the bad weather and had reopened at 9.25am
Passengers planning to travel by train between Malaga and Seville will be transported by coach for the rest of the day
and those coming from Almeria will be transferred to coach for the stretch between Granada and Seville

The young Málaga architects Eugenia Álvarez Blanch
and Enrique Bravo Lanzac have turned an old retail space in Seville’s central neighborhood of San Luis – at Calle Aniceto Sáenz 1
close to Plaza de Pumarejo – into a home and workshop for a sculptor
and the two uses are differentiated by facade: domestic program to the east
The first step was to remove structures and features that had been added to the original construction
The resulting space was generous – with a substantial clear height – and diaphanous
the house-atelier is organized around a cube in the heart of the space
This box of exposed brick contains the bathroom and the bedroom
set at a medium height and visually connected to the living room
The rest is configured by means of furniture and mobile elements
so the home-studio is a continuum in tune with Raumplan ideas

The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would.
