Took a while, but my largest ever upload of data to the #ENA / #SRA is live, nearly 4000 #metabarcoding amplicon sequencing runs using a #Phytophthora ITS1 marker: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB76241

Mould shuts popular Glass House Mountains National Park to climbing
"The mould spreads by any activity that moved soil, water, or plant material...These include bushwalking, mountain biking, four-wheel-driving, road construction, timber harvesting, mining, and feral pig incursions...To be honest, people are going to the toilet up on top of the mountains."

Nooit geweten dat het een waterschimmel was.
De vele regen van de afgelopen maanden zit aardappeltelers dwars. Niet alleen worden aardappelpercelen daardoor noodgedwongen te laat geplant, ook een waterschimmel grijpt om zich heen. Dit probleem blijft mogelijk nog jaren voelbaar, ook in de portemonnee van de consument.
