But they threw their pot ale (the leftover swill of dead yeast and water) into the ocean.

Grewal studied Cleveland, Ohio, a Rust Belt city hit hard by foreclosures during the Great Recession that resulted in vacant properties scattered throughout the city.
in the mid-19th century was thought long to be a fungus. The blight, Phytophthora infestans, is considered now a water mold, more closely related to the malaria parasite.
It thrives in cool, wet weather and can infect potatoes, tomatoes and related plants, causing a late blight disease that can destroy entire crops in days.
In forests there s a lot of fungi that are breaking down the compounds. So the mycelium from mushrooms you use that as a glue to hold together these agricultural byproducts?
And we have to keep the fungi happy. What does that involve? We try to play good music for them.
It s derived from a fungus that s found in nature and we re growing that commercially so we can grind it up
She continues, diving into details on the farm distillery, fermentation methods, yeast strands, and how she finishes the stuff in cognac barrels.
Fungus threatens the gin and tonicif they remake Casablanca, Rick's lament could be that there are NO gin joints in all the world.
This time, she's spreading a fungus that is attacking juniper trees, which yield the berries that give gin its flavor.
A fungus called Phytophthora austrocedrae is so much on the rampage that according to The Telegraph it could wipe out the already shrinking population of the U k.'s native juniper trees.
Fight back against Phytophthora! As a side benefit, the sooner you stamp it out, the sooner you won't have to pronounce it.

Scientists find fungi that could give next-gen biofuels a boost
How dubious are Snapple's bottle cap facts? For over decade, beverage maker Snapple has been printing Real Facts on the undersides of their bottle caps.
We find that over time biochar also creates an ideal environment for microorganisms to live, things like fungi and bacteria.
Reade pulled out a chunk of koji barley inoculated with fuzzy green Aspergillus oryzae, the same fungus used in sake and soy sauce.
The fungus produces enzymes that break down the starches and make the barley sweet, and hydrolizes the proteins into simple amino acids with a rich umami flavor.
Reade used a Thermomix to blend the koji with bee larvae and salt water (the salt keeps the pathogenic microorganisms at bay as well as enabling the enzymes, some beneficial bacteria and various strains of yeast to flourish).
After a few minutes he had a thick greenish concoction that resembled pea soup. Then he took a bag of raw,
Scientists find fungi that could give next-gen biofuels a boostthe formula to low-cost biofuel might be found within mushrooms.
A team of scientists including researchers from the Energy department's Joint Genome Institute identified Thielavia terrestris
and Myceliophthora thermophilia--two types of fungi that thrive in the hot environments necessary to speed up the biofuel refining process,
Mushroom power Enter the heat-loving fungi. The Energy department has several research projects aimed at finding heat tolerant enzymes from fungi and microbes such as cellulases that break down plant cell walls and convert biomass into fermentable sugars.
Heat tolerance is the critical cost-reduction piece of the puzzle. Many cellulases used in biofuel production thrive at temperatures of 20 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees C, according to the DOE's Joint Genome Institute.
Now that the team of scientists has identified two heat-loving fungi, the information can be used to improve strains as well as simplify the indentification of other beneficial and harmful mutations, according to the DOE's Joint Genome Institute.
