Reposted by Irati Ijurco-Gonzalez
In this study, we found that two major lineages of endosymbiotic fungi have lost DNA polymerase genes.

In AM fungi, DNA polymerase losses are lineage-specific.

Microsporidia lost the same DNA polymerases and accessory co-factors as AM fungi, but in a slightly different order.

(ES) Reflexión de esta mañana🌸
¿Qué significa ser jardinero? En euskera es “quien cuida las flores”. Tras semanas de huelga en Vitoria-Gasteiz, los jardines sin cortar se llenan de flores y polinizadores. Tal vez toca repensar el modelo, sin olvidar la justicia laboral.

(EN) This morning’s thought🌸
What does it mean to be a gardener? In Basque, it’s ‘the one who cares for flowers’. Yet after weeks of strike in Vitoria-Gasteiz, lawns are full of blooms and pollinators. Maybe it’s time to rethink gardening, while also supporting fair labour.
