Digital Analysis of Mycelium Growth and Mycelium Density In Vitro of Pleurotus ostreatus with Submerged Fermentation as Substrate Treatment [PDF]
Edible mushroom cultivation often involves sterilizing the substrate, or a similar heat process like pasteurization, to facilitate mycelial colonization. Chemical treatments are an alternative approach that is also employed in some regions.

Evidence of rare occurrences of the Phoenix effect in the Hawaiian corals Porites compressa and Montipora capitata following mortality induced by a marine heatwave [PDF]
Coral bleaching is a common stress response to extreme temperatures experienced during marine heatwaves. Bleached corals are left vulnerable without the nutritional support of their algal symbionts, and can often suffer partial or complete mortality ...

The extracellular matrix protects Bacillus subtilis colonies from Pseudomonas invasion and modulates plant co-colonization [PDF]
Pseudomonas and Bacillus can promote plant growth but their mutual interactions are unclear. Here, the authors show that the extracellular matrix protects Bacillus colonies from infiltration by Pseudomonas cells, while the Pseudomonas type VI secretion ...

Phenotypic Heterogeneity and the Evolution of Bacterial Life Cycles. [PDF]
Most bacteria live in colonies, where they often express different cell types. The ecological significance of these cell types and their evolutionary origin are often unknown. Here, we study the evolution of cell differentiation in the context of surface

Widespread demographic explosion of a non-indigenous hydrozoan on an oceanic island
The arrival of non-indigenous species into new areas is one of the main processes altering the oceans globally. Macrorhynchia philippina is a large-sized colonial hydrozoan of an invasive nature.
