Fungal factories may save hemlock forests

...-value plants, like natural forests. "We're not going to eradicate the adelgid," Costa says. "The best-case scenario for an insect-killing fungi is you inoculate the environment and get disease outbreaks to start cycling. The idea is to reduce the pest population to a level that is manageable, allowing ...

Common ancestry of bacterium and plants could be key to an effective new treatment for chlamydia

...So the hunt for a new antibiotic is on. Leustek is going to start screening for chemicals that block the enzyme. He is also using the results of his research to work on another approach, which is to characterize the structure of the enzyme so that he could design an antibiotic that would disable the pathwa...

Fishy cooperation
