They say salt's antiseptic.

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

And when it dies, it falls to the bottom and then it rots, which means that bacteria break it down.

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

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

This is a really odd one. This is Ferroplasma.

These vibrios, these bacteria, can actually infect people.

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

And we know staph can do amazing things.

Those fungi and bacteria are as highly evolved as humans.

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.

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

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.

I became interested in entomopathogenic fungi fungi that kill insects.

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.

मह स क रमण क दमन करन

What?

You're just a fungus!

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

What happens is that bacteria are able to count how many of me and how many of you.

The worst possibility is that a very simple germ, like staph, for which we have one antibiotic that still works, mutates.

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

The clue to this came from another marine bacterium, and it's a bacterium called Vibrio fischeri.

We share in common the same pathogens.

The seeds then are mothered by this mycelium.

It could be anti bacterial.

It's used by all different bacteria and it's the language of interspecies communication.

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.

These are two shots of a red tide coming on shore here and a bacteria in the genus vibrio, which includes the genus that has cholera in it.

They either pop the bacterial membrane, they make the bacterium so it can't replicate its DNA.

The mycelium is sentient.

I'm HIV positive.

This is now supposed to be my bacterial cell.

This is the bacterial Esperanto.

The bacteria see the danger.

Do you know it's Klebsiella?

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.

Carole Lartigue led the effort to actually transplant a bacterial chromosome from one bacteria to another.

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