Mortierella wolfii
Culture: Culture of Mortierella wolfii are fast growing, white to greyish white, downy, often with a broadly zonate or lobed (rosette-like) surface appearance and no reverse pigment.
Microscopy: Sporangium with acrotonous (terminal) branches and rhizoids of M. wolfii.
Comment: The genus Mortierella has now been placed in a separate order, the Mortierellales (Cavalier-Smith 1998). The genus contains about 90 recognised species, however Mortierella wolfii is probably the only pathogenic species being an important causal agent of bovine mycotic abortion, pneumonia and systemic mycosis in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and USA.
Confirmed human infections have not been documented. M. wolfii has also been isolated from soil, rotten silage, hay and coal spoil tips.

Genome Study Reveals Prehistoric Ethiopian Origins of Coffee
Researchers now have unlocked the genome of the Arabica species and traced its origins to a natural mating between two other coffee species an estimated 610,000 to one million years ago in the forests of Ethiopia.
That makes this species older than our own species Homo sapiens, which arose in Africa about 300,000 years ago.
The researchers sequenced the genomes of 39 Arabica varieties, including a specimen from the 18th century, to create the highest quality genome to date of this species, whose scientific name is Coffea arabica.
They also uncovered a specific region of the genome that may be pivotal for breeding or genetically engineering disease resistance...The research showed that Arabica's population rose and fell over the millennia as the climate warmed and cooled. It was first cultivated by people in Ethiopia and Yemen, and then spread around the world.
What is the main cause of albinism?
What Causes Albinism? Most of the time, someone has albinism because they inherited the gene for it from both their mother and father. Having just one of the genes (being a “carrier") does not give you albinism. Most parents of children with albinism do not have any symptoms.

Tyrosinase is a multifunctional enzyme, which controls the production of melanin from tyrosine in animals. It catalyzes the hydroxylation of monophenols to o-diphenols and their subsequent oxidation to o-quinones. It is also responsible for the browning of damaged fruits or plant tissues.
New species of frog has been discovered from Arunachal Pradesh based on molecular, morphological, and osteological characters. The new species has different morphological characters from any other known species with differences in snout-vent length, disc on fingers and toes with horizontal/transverse groove on the dorsal surface, dorsal skin wrinkled, and a pair of faint dorsolateral stripes on back. The new species DNA sequence shows a divergence of 7.6–25.4% in the mitochondrial gene fragment 12S–tVal–16S rRNA (1533 base pairs). This is the first record of the genus from India, which was recently also reported from Myanmar and Western China.
This discovery indicates the need for a systematic study to uncover the hidden diversity of the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot. Access the study by Surya Narayanan: https://lnkd.in/dZXAgzSC
Did you know that some reptiles, birds and fish species have an amazing ability called parthenogenesis? That means they can reproduce without a male! It's an incredible evolutionary trait that highlights the importance of adaptability for survival. And the same goes for businesses.
In today's constantly changing market, those that can innovate and adapt are more likely to succeed. Survival of the fittest applies just everywhere- those that refuse to change risk extinction. So, if you want your business to thrive in this competitive world, you need to be willing to evolve and adapt. Don't be a dinosaur! Embrace change and watch your business grow.
🔆Rare golden tiger snapped in Kaziranga
A rare golden tiger was recently spotted in Kaziranga National Park taking a stroll
golden tigers such as this were very rare and caused due to a gene-mutation in the species.
The golden phenotype is a rare recessive trait and is currently being investigated through non-invasive scat sampling and DNA mapping by scientists Prof. Uma Ramakrishnan and her team at National Centre for Biological Sciences.
both pseudo-melanistic and golden phenotypes are expressed as recessive traits, their occurrence in natural population suggests an even large number of heterozygotes in the population, which can only be detected through genetic analyses (as the heterozygotes look the same as a normal tiger).

Recent research highlights the potential of eucalyptus oil, particularly from the Eucalyptus globulus species, in slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine, a crucial neurotransmitter affected in Alzheimer’s. Beyond main components like 1,8-cineole and limonene, other compounds like δ-3-carene contribute to this effect. This discovery suggests that eucalyptus and essential oils like thyme could provide a natural approach to managing conditions like Alzheimer’s, marking a promising development in the field.

I just got back from spending two weeks in my hometown of Viry, in the french Jura mountains. Meredith Favre and I got ourselves a piece of land at 3300ft up in the high mountains. It's a natural peat bog in the center. We dropped a little camper trailer on there, and call it home (picture 1).
The reason I mention this is because during my trip, I realized that the local conifer population is being decimated by pests and diseases, exacerbated by climate change. Entire mountain sides are being chopped to prevent further spreading. It happens that next "door" to our plot of land, there was a Sapinière, a man made forest of fir. The owner had to chop it all because of a bark beetle infestation (picture 2).
The site is now a beautiful meadow full of wild flowers and buzzing with life. the Sapiniere was a dark place where nothing grew but fir and a few mushrooms. Maybe the bark beetles were fighting the good fight this time...
For real though, conifers are in peril in their native ranges all over the planet. They grow slow, they grow steady, they grow old. That's what conifers do.
The work I do in the Christmas Tree Genetics lab at NC State has the potential to fix this. But it too is a slow and steady process. Somatic Embryogenesis in conifer is difficult. Few dare to even think of it. Only tissue culture pioneers with goals beyond money and profit.
Picture 3 represents thousands of Fraser fir somatic embryos. In other words, an entire forest in my hand.

More efforts are needed to protect orchids in karst forests
https://ift.tt/xQMUiZE
Karst forests develop in a karst landform, and have complex vegetation types and high biodiversity, and are rich in endemic species. As one of the important and special plant groups in the karst habitat, many orchids have unique adaption mechanisms. However, the distribution pattern and conservation status of orchids in karst forests remain largely unknown.

We know that human beings have an evolved predisposition to look for and perceive danger and, by extension, other aspects of daily life that are not ideally and explicitly "positive" (whatever this means, to each of us).
Our ancestors who more readily spotted danger and other ill-fated conditions, tended to outlive those who did not do this so well.
This tendency implies that we have to proactively seek out what is good in our daily lives, to foster a general sense of contentment with life. Practices to do this abound.
In an analogous manner, I perceive that incorporating diversity needs to become a habit that I proactively build into my daily life.
I am confident that I do not need to expound on the polarising, monoculture-engendering effects of most news and social media today. I haven't used Facebook since 2007, stopped using Instagram around 2019, and have not joined any other platforms (other than LinkedIn). AND STILL I notice how the diversity of perspectives that I am exposed to on a day-to-day basis is much more limited than I would like it to be.
I would like to change this, and this is how I am thinking about incorporating diversity.
I'll add a couple comments to the original post, with ideas on how to do this (courtesy of in-person conversations I am having on the subject during this cycle of our exploration, help from ChatGPT, and other online sources.)

🕸 Today we begin the journey of exploring the next set of sub-principles. Where does the activity and/or principle of incorporating diversity show up in your life, your work, and your values?
🌵 How do you, “incorporate diversity”?
🐙 We invite you and Biomimicry Frontiers to investigate with us, to discover what value this Life’s Principle could contribute to our ways of being and doing. Please drop a comment below and share your experiences with us!
⭐ It is evident that nature incorporates diversity wherever possible. This involves multiple forms, processes, or systems to meet functional needs. This plethora engenders symbiotic relationships between species. The same can be said of the diverse transportation systems that humans have come to rely on in cities.
🌀 Look out for our first article on our reflection on the Life’s Principle of Evolve to Survive which will be posted soon.
