Consider the fungi including mushrooms, rusts, molds and many disease causing organisms.

We kill bacteria with traditional antibiotics and that selects for resistant mutants.

And once you get increased antibiotic resistance, the antibiotics aren't knocking out the harmful strains anymore.

Therefore, the confidence in the total verification process depends to a large extent on accounting for reference strains and seed stocks of micro organisms.

I want to present to you a suite of six mycological solutions, using fungi, and these solutions are based on mycelium.

Fungi don't like to rot from bacteria, and so our best antibiotics come from fungi.

7. Expresses its concern about the increase in resistant strains of malaria in several regions of the world

Those fungi and bacteria are as highly evolved as humans.

I became interested in entomopathogenic fungi fungi that kill insects.

It would make these organisms evolve to mildness, so that even though people might be getting infected, they'd be infected with mild strains.

You're just a fungus!

Those organisms that paired with fungi were rewarded, because fungi do not need light.

So, fungi and mycelium sequester carbon dioxide in the form of calcium oxalates.

And we found that in Chile within two months of the invasion of Peru you had strains entering Chile and when you look at those strains, in the very far left hand side of this graph, you see a lot of variation in the toxin production.

This is extremely rare fungus.

The mushrooms then are harvested, but very importantly, the mycelium has converted the cellulose into fungal sugars.

Mycologist Paul Stamets lists 6 ways the mycelium fungus can help save the universe cleaning polluted soil, making insecticides, treating smallpox and even flu ... a href http www.ted.com index.php speakers view id 229 target _blank Read more a .

The Life Box you're gonna be getting a DVD of the TED conference you add soil, you add water, you have mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi as well as spores, like of the Agarikon mushroom.

And along comes pneumococcus or another bacteria, streptococcus and boom, they get a bacterial pneumonia.

If treatment adherence is poor, resistant HIV strains can emerge and lead to treatment failure.

This is a really odd one. This is Ferroplasma.

Already what were thought to be bacteria for generations have been found to compose, instead, two great domains of microorganisms true bacteria and one celled organisms the archaea, which are closer than other bacteria to the eukaryota, the group that we belong to.

60,000 species are known to science, but more than 1.5 million have been estimated to exist.

The Armillaria is actually a predatory fungus, killing certain species of trees in the forest.

One would be to take a lot of different strains of this organism some that produce a lot of toxins, some that produce a little and take those strains and spew them out in different countries.

These vibrios, these bacteria, can actually infect people.

The good news, it's not cancer, it's not tuberculosis, it's not coccidioidomycosis or some obscure fungal infection.

I'm essentially using a kombucha recipe, which is a symbiotic mix of bacteria, yeasts and other micro organisms, which spin cellulose in a fermentation process.

And so we started to think if this really is about communication in bacteria, and it's about counting your neighbors, it's not enough to be able to only talk within your species.

And we know staph can do amazing things.

Sunlight was cut off, and fungi inherited the Earth.

In every case there's a lot of variation, but something about the environment the people are living in, and I think the only realistic explanation is that it's the degree of waterborne transmission, favored the harmful strains in one place, and mild strains in another.

So, I went to the EPA homepage, and they were recommending studies with metarhizium species of a group of fungi that kill carpenter ants, as well as termites.

I actually chased the mycelium, when it stopped producing spores.

Dr Noah's bacillus? Now, Jimmy, even you wouldn't release germ warfare.

And the focus when I'm talking about the diarrheal organisms, as well as the focus when I'm talking about any organisms that cause acute infectious disease, is to think about the problem from a germ's point of view, germ's eye view.

The mycelium absorbs the oil.

And so, as I was thinking about this, I focused on this organism, which is the El Tor biotype of the organism called Vibrio cholerae.

Of the 103 imported vials, 13 were stated by Iraq to have been used, while 90 were handed over to the United Nations inspectors unopened.

And what you're looking at with this namibiensis is the biggest bacteria we've ever seen.

A virus grabbed onto a bacterium and it slipped its DNA into it.

These are hacks, and if we looked at the general shape of the approaches to hacking life there are, current consensus, six kingdoms. Six different broad approaches the plants, the animals, the fungi, the protests the little things the bacteria and the Archaea bacteria. The Archaeas.
