AIDS: Arthrosporium? Are you a fungus? It's rare.
Arthrosporium replies AIDS: Well, I am a member of the phylum Fungus, I am not common in nature, and I usually like to live in a moist environment with high sugar.
Rhombospora AIDS: No wonder you like sugar cane, sugar cane is sweet.
Salmonella: It's going to be a rarity to live in such a picky place.
Arthrosporium replies to Salmonella: Although I am rare, I have a lot of brothers in my family, and there are more than 20 species found by humans.
Salmonella: There are only more than 20 species, which is pitiful.
Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli: Compared to our E. coli family, there are too few brothers.
Pseudomonas coconut: I have fewer brothers, but I'm not weak at all.
Salmonella reverts to Pseudomonas coconut: small coconut does not pick a place to live, it can grow in the soil, and it also likes to grow on the surface of various foods.
Listeria monocytogenes: I remember that coconut likes corn, sorghum, potato, sweet potato, white fungus, fungus, and I also like these foods, and I am neighbors with coconut. As for Arthrosporium, I rarely see him.
Pseudomonas coconut: the fewer the species, the more mysterious it is, I want to see the autobiography of Arthrosporium.
Arthrosporium: Here's my autobiography.
I'm Arthromyces.
My deity is a fungus.
I have a cell wall, I have mycophae, and I'm a big guy in the bacterial world.
As a eukaryotic organism, mushrooms and yeast are my distant relatives, and various molds are my close brothers.
I'm picky about growing and only prefer high sugar and moist environments.
Sweet cane is my favorite.
When the sugarcane stays in the humid environment for a long time, I take advantage of the opportunity to grow.
Because of my invasion and growth, the normally yellowish sugarcane core will turn reddish, brownish, and even black.
While I reproduce, I can produce a toxin, 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA).
As a mycotoxin, 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) is neurotoxic.
3-NPA acts on synapses, and striatal neurons are susceptible to endogenous glutamate, producing indirect excitotoxic damage to the striatum.
When humans and animals eat moldy sugarcane, ingestion of 3-nitropropionic acid can produce a range of symptoms.
Initial vomiting, dizziness, blurred vision.
Then the eyes are crooked or staring upward, and paroxysmal twitching.
During convulsions, the limbs are rigid, flexed, internally rotated, and the hands are claw-shaped.
Then he fell into a coma and even died.
Humanity has yet to discover a cure-specific antidote to me.
So, once poisoned, the mortality rate is very high.
AIDS: Wow, moldy sugar cane is dangerous.
Influenza: Sugar cane contaminated with Arthrosporium is dangerous.
Rhombospora reverts to the flu: No, no, no, not all of the sugarcane I contaminated is poisonous, and only some of my family brothers are virus-producing strains.
Pseudomonas coconut: It is safest not to eat moldy sugarcane.
