Front cover illustration

False-coloured scanning electron micrograph of the Gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes (cell length approx. 0.75 μm). While L. monocytogenes is an important food-borne pathogen and the causative agent of listeriosis, it is also the model organism used to demonstrate the pathobiotechnology concept: mining pathogen genomes for beneficial applications in biotechnology and medicine.
