Fungi

The fungi that is on the walls of the tunnel, are called some sort of eukaryote or fungi. Since it was a eukaryotic fungi, the organisms that make up the writing cannot be yeast, but it can be some kind of other fungi that has never been seen before. Fungi does not need light to grow so it does not need to perform photosynthesis to give itself carbon dioxide. The biologist was right when she said that it was a fungi and not something else because if it were another…

4.1 Maintenance and sub-culturing of endophytic fungi The cultures were procured from already maintained repository in laboratory. The maintenance of the cultures involved preparation of Potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates, sub culturing of cultures and long term preservation. 4.1.1 Preparation of PDA (Potato dextrose agar) plates 39g of PDA was dissolved in 1000 ml double distilled water, stirred to mix properly and was transferred into 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and autoclaved at 121˚C at 15…

Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman, 2000) is an obligatory ectoparasite of the honeybee (Apis mellifera L). It caused severe damage to populations of this species world-wide in recent years (Le Conte et al., 2010). The direct negative effect of the Varroa on honeybee has well documented (Weinberg and Madel, 1985; Daly et al., 1988, Wienands and Madel, 1988; Marcangeli et al., 1992; Bowen-Walker and Gunn, 2001; Contzen et al., 2004; Yang and Cox-Foster, 2005; Belaïd and Doumandji, 2010;…

leads to the formation of cysts in the human body. #4 Ringworms The name ringworm is slightly misleading. Ringworms are not worms, but fungi. They cause lesions on the head, ear, or paws of the animal and bald spots that look red in the center. In severe cases, your dog or cat might lose most of its fur. But it’s also possible for the animal to carry the fungi and show no…

In the book story “The Fall of the House of Usher” they are several characters stated such as the “sister” Madeline Usher, as well as the “brother/Childhood Friend Roderick Usher” but were they truly there of just a figment of the narrator's imagination due to a overusage of some sort of narcotic. “Which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium --the bitter lapse into everyday life-the hideous dropping off of the reveller upon opium…

Bacteria and fungi are all around us; they are in our food, on our clothes, in our bodies, and in our homes. But, does the bacterial diversity change from indoors to outdoors? Is it different depending on who and what lives inside the house? Barberan et al 2015 examined the diversity of bacteria and fungi in 1200 homes across the United States. They were looking to see if the type of pet, number of men and women inhabitants, and climate had any impact on the bacteria and fungi residing in the…

I. A Competitive Edge The best races have the best competitors, and angiosperms have certainly been described as having an extra edge. As discussed in the introduction, the fossil record shows that gymnosperms were quickly displaced by angiosperms upon their arrival. Yet despite the number of hypotheses (table 1) put forward to explain this shift in vegetation, gymnosperms’ competitors have not yet been discovered. Among the numerous hypotheses, three are discussed in depth here (summarised in…

In order to obtain accurate numbers from the now grown-out Sordaria samples, a small procedure was followed. First, a sample of fungi was taken from the border of a WT and TT section in the Petri dish. A slide was prepared by placing one drop of water on the middle of it, the Sordaria sample on top, and a slide coverslip on top of the sample. The eraser of a pencil was used to lightly…

“Indoor air quality” refers to the quality of the air in a home, school, office, or other building environment. The potential impact of indoor air quality on human health nationally can be considerable for several reasons: Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, where the concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations. People who are often most susceptible to the adverse effects of pollution (e.g., the…
