Do you really need to mention in the lead that it is the type species? Most lay readers won't even understand what it is.
I could go either way. Only one species in a genus gets to be the type, so it's a big deal for the fungus... but in the interests of the average read, I'll save that info for the article body. Sasata (talk) 21:03, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
What are paraphyses?
Glossed. Sasata (talk) 21:03, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
"grows solely amongst sphagnum moss"—does this mean that is grows only among sphagnum moss or that it grows solitarily?
Clarified. Sasata (talk)
This seems interesting, though I don't have access to the full text. The abstract is suggestive (to me at least) of lateral gene transfer involving plectasin.
It's in Japanese, with bits of English, but I did put in a tidbit from the abstract. Thanks! Sasata (talk) 21:03, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
