Starmerella Floris
''Starmerella'' is a genus of fungi within the Saccharomycetales order. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the order (biology), order is unknown (''incertae sedis''), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any family (biology), family. Although, the GBIF list the family as Phaffomycetaceae. Several members of the ''Starmerella'' clade are associated with flowers and flower-visiting insects like bees and bumblebees; these yeasts cope well with high sugar niches. Many strains (species) of the ''Starmerella'' clade, including ''Starmerella bombicola'' and ''Candida apicola'' are known to produce sophorolipids which are carbohydrate-based, amphiphilic biosurfactants. The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Carlos Augusto Rosa and Marc-André Lachance in Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. vol.48 (4) on page 1413 in 1998. The genus name of ''Starmerella'' is in honour of William T. Starmer, William Thomas Starmer (b.1944), an American botanist and ...

Fungi
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the kingdom (biology)#Six kingdoms (1998), traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or Protozoa and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of motility, mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Syracuse University College Of Arts And Sciences
The Syracuse University College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) is the founding liberal arts college of Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. Established in 1871, it is the oldest and largest college at Syracuse University by enrollment. It offers programs in the natural sciences, mathematics, and the humanities, as well as the social sciences in collaboration with the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. History The College of Arts and Sciences was founded in 1871 as the College of Liberal Arts and offered courses in algebra, geometry, Latin, Greek, history, physiology, education, and rhetoric. John Raymond French, a professor of mathematics, served as the first dean of the college. Prior to the completion of Hall of Languages in 1873, classes were held in a rental property in downtown Syracuse. The college's curriculum steadily expanded over the years, such as the establishment of biology and geology department in 1891, the predecessor of today's departm ...
