Angela and grady, the spore, I believe is what when they began to build the synthetic cell, they built it from a spore, the spore becomes the cell, those shown there are in microns, and this is that size, but, to build it, self assemble the cell, they had to begin with something, most likely a protozoan procaryote. The one cell, however, to make it multicelled, more of the models were used. going back over that link you posted angela This shows the difference between the three cryptosporidium, cyclospora and isospora. www.medscape.com/content/2004/00/48/16/481644/481644_fig.htmlskytroll

Deal is though....Ive been tested for Cyclospora and Giardia and Isospora and all came back negative. But i kept on seeing Isosporas' (((patterns))) in thousands of my skin artifacts. (and in soooo many online artifacts) So, basically......the information they have on Isospora belli is very limited! Thanks so much Grady I love watermelon! i didnt know it was high alkaline. Excellent! I will start buying some.

Skytroll,
THIS THREAD is full of Information and you put forth such excellent research. Thanks so much!www.townsendletter.com/Oct2006/bradfibro51006.htmThis link above has alot to do with fungi and............way too much to copy and paste Sorry if it was already posted..............Fungi It is becoming increasingly apparent that the incidence of fungemia, a disease that results from human fungal pathogens, is on the rise. One probable cause of this increase is the more common usage of immunosuppressive agents as a result of AIDS and organ transplantation, as well as the wider and improper use of antibiotics suppressing the immune system. Suppression of the immune system, including mechanisms normally instrumental in destroying invading microorganisms and viruses, allows the survival of mutants of these organisms that are more infectious and virulent than those originally present.Clinically, fungemia presents unusual symptoms including depression, edema of the extremities, and fibromyalgia in which many forms of fungemia are seen in high resolution microscopy (Bradford Variable Projection Microscope [BVPM]).59 (See Photos 2 and 3.) Associated with fibromyalgia is the presence of fungal forms, including various species of Candida (including white C. albicans) and/or several forms of melanized (black) fungi including Cryptoccous neoformans, Mucor sp. and Aspergillus sp. (See Chart 4 and Photo 3.) Life-threatening infections resulting from fungal pathogens such as Cryptococcus neoformans have been increasing steadily over the past ten years because of the prevalence of AIDS and the widespread use of immunosuppressive drugs.79 Mucormycosis is a devastating fungal disease affecting mainly diabetic and immunosuppressed patients and frequently causing death. Mucor rhizopus (black fungus), the opportunistic fungus, has been controlled by Sulfoxime™ and intravenous Amphotericin B. Most fungi have a strong antioxidant system and tolerate oxygen very well. The fungus Mucor has been associated with fibromyalgia55 and observed with the Bradford Peripheral Blood Assessments (BPBA). (See Photo 2, above.) Twenty systemic fungal infections arising within a five-year period were analyzed among cancer patients. Aspergillosis (black fungus) was the most common invasive fungal disease (55%), followed by mucormycosis (15%), and fusariosis (15%) from infection by Fusarium sp., a fungus which attacks almost all grains in the field, including wheat, corn, rice, and barley.121 (See Photo 2, above.) In this study 85% of the patients were diagnosed with black fungus utilizing the Bradford High Resolution Microscope; 100% of the FMS patients had black or red fungus. Phase Microscopy | Darkfield Microscopy Photo 2: Black Fungus Photo 3: White Fungal Cluster Phase Microscopy Melanin is a pigment widely dispersed in nature, found in hair, butterfly wings, beetles, the human brain (substantia nigra), black fungus, and many biological structures having a black appearance. Chemically, melanin is a three-dimensional polymer composed of several basic building blocks or monomers connected in a random manner. The precursor for many melanins is the amino acid phenylalanine, forming such substances as dopamine and L-dopa. C. neoformans is one example of several pathogenic fungi containing melanin granules, giving them a black appearance. Another example is Aspergillus niger or black bread mold. An examination of any of the melanins in an electron spin resonance (ESR) device reveals that melanin is a multi-site polymeric free radical containing stable unpaired electrons. This implies that melanin is capable of acting as a scavenger of free radicals (since free radicals annihilate each other) and is thereby able to protect a melanin-containing fungus from an oxidative burst released by immunocompetant cells.80 Additional studies have shown that there is indeed a transfer of electrons between melanin and free radicals present in the surrounding medium.81 These studies also demonstrate that some strains of melanin-containing fungus may differ in melanin content by as much as eightfold. Quantitative analysis revealed that melanin comprised greater than 15% of the dry mass of the cell after a ten-day growth in a medium supplying the necessary ingredients for melanin synthesis. The virulence of pathogenic strains of black fungi is shown to be directly related to the melanin content. Those fungi grown in media containing the precursors of melanin were more virulent than those deprived of these substances.82 A corollary to this research is that those suffering from infection by a melanin-containing (black) fungal pathogen should avoid foods that contain large amounts of phenylalanine. The food containing the largest amount of this amino acid is the soybean. Soybean products also include tofu and soymilk.Exposure of melanized black fungal cells to 0.1–0.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) bleached the cells white and abolished the ESR signal, consistent with melanin disruption.15 It may also be safely said that any substance tolerated by the body and supplying nascent oxygen would also be effective in bleaching melanin granules in vivo. A second example of such a substance is Proprietary Stabilized Active Oxygen Carrier, used in clinics worldwide for this purpose. C. neoformans is a human pathogenic fungus that is unusual in two respects: (1) it has a polysaccharide capsule similar to that found in encapsulated bacteria, and (2) it can produce melanin. Cells of C. neoformans are significantly more negatively charged than cells of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This negative charge is a repulsive force to the negative charge on circulating formed cells that conveys a degree of immunological privilege for most fungi. The polysaccharide capsule is responsible for the high negative surface charge. In addition, the melanin of this organism is also negatively charged, giving an increased negative charge per cell. It has been established that macrophage phagocytosis is affected by the electrical potential of targeted microorganisms.83 Cryptococcus neoformans must reduce ferric iron (Fe+3) to the ferrous form (Fe+2) before uptake. Detailed studies have shown that melanized cells reduce iron from the ferric to the ferrous state at a rate 16 times that of nonmelanized cells.84 Iron is required for the continued growth of this organism. If the melanin in melanized cells is bleached, the ability of this fungus to reduce iron to an available form is thereby thwarted. Intra-tracheal inoculation of C. neoformans strain 52 induced a vigorous T-cell-mediated pulmonary inflammatory response that controlled the growth of the organism. In contrast, strain 145 induced a pulmonary response that was delayed in onset, slower to develop, and ineffective in controlling the infection. These two strains differ only in melanin production with strain 52 low and strain 145 high. In addition, the high-melanin-containing strain 145 inhibited TNF-alpha production and lymphocyte proliferation by T-cells. By inhibiting the production of TNF-alpha by T-cells, melanin can inhibit the recognition of the organism by host defenses and block the resulting activation of apoptosis in this fungus.85 Various drugs are known to bind to melanin with high affinity, including the antipsychotic agent trifluoperazine and the antimalarial agent chloroquine. When C. neoformans was exposed to trifluoperazine, melanized cells were more susceptible than nonmelanized cells. Chloroquine had no fungicidal effect on either melanized or nonmelanized cells. These results suggest that antifungal drugs of the future intended to target melanized fungal cells may be found among those substances having a high binding affinity for melanin.86

The melanin is the black fungus. The above so important. Where the melanin and the negative walks right into our cells. Negative charge we are negative charged, if the voltage is changed,......hence it controls development or more growth, however do wonder about the increased oxygen, does that make it grow more? melanosynthesis, exchanging the natural for the fungus? Synthesizing our melanin? "Melanin is a pigment widely dispersed in nature, found in hair, butterfly wings, beetles, the human brain (substantia nigra), black fungus, and many biological structures having a black appearance.

The physiological signaling mechanisms that link normal variations in body energy status to the activity of arousal- and metabolism-regulating brain centers are not well understood. The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and orexin/hypocretin types of neurons of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) exert opposing effects on arousal and metabolism. We examined whether shifts in brain extracellular glucose that correspond to physiological changes in blood glucose can alter the electrical output of neurochemically and biophysically defined LH cells in mouse brain slices. Here, we show that physiologically relevant concentrations of glucose dose-dependently enhance the electrical excitability of MCH neurons by inducing depolarization and increasing membrane resistance. We also demonstrate that the same physiological shifts in glucose have the opposite effects on the electrical activity of orexin neurons. We propose that these direct actions of glucose on the arousal- and metabolism-regulating LH neurons play a key role in the translation of normal variations in body energy resources into appropriate changes in arousal and metabolism. Key words: sleep; wakefulness; feeding; glucose; orexin; hypocretin; melanin-concentrating hormone physicological changes? www.jneurosci.org/cgi/content/full/25/9/2429skytroll

melanin related to fat metabolism? I now have a fatty liver, means the fat is not processing through my system, it is not breaking down. Fatty acids and fat metabolism has a lot to do with Morgellons. And seems is related to melanin and glucose and I can bet proteins, so is in gm foods. The melano synthesis is being done through the re engineered food proteins. Notice the mention of the soy, above. That is just one. Now this could also deal with the heat shock proteins, a way to prevent natural synthesis of melanin. Why our melanin is leaving us. So, if melanin and fat and glucose are involved here, that means the basis for change of melanin or deletion of, could be the proteins, being exchanged? will look more into that, but the gene from the yeast, the fungi would be used in the agrobacterium construction. That ti-plasmid. Going right through the new proteins in the plants we eat. The conductance would be in the yeast or the fungi. the organic semi conductor: a conference: www.osc-europe.com/Look who is involved! what are organic semiconductors? electroluminence www.chemlin.net/news/2006/sep2006/organic-semiconductors.htmskytroll

Semiconductors - organic or otherwise - are materials that contain either an excess of free electrons (N-type) or "holes" (P-type). Holes are spaces where an atom ought to have an electron but doesn't, representing a positive charge. N- and P-type materials can be joined to form diodes and transistors. The Cornell researchers went a step further by making a diode out of organic semiconductors that also contain free ions (molecules with an electrical charge). They laminated together two organic layers, one that contained free positive ions and the other negative ions. They then added thin conducting films on the top and bottom; the top conductor is transparent to allow light in and out. Where the two films meet, negative ions migrate across the junction to the positive side and vice versa, until an equilibrium is reached. This is analogous, the researchers said, to what happens in a silicon diode, where electrons and holes migrate across the junction. www.chemlin.net/news/2006/sep2006/organic-semiconductors.htmcross negative and positive till reaches equilibrium? skytroll

trying to find the conductor link seems to involve B. subtilis as hybrid gene, but is use of either cyanobacteria, or aspergillis, type fungus in self assembling, but the photon is there as well, I think?.....more looking into.
melanosynthesis, and I would add the glucosynthesis, has to do with the breakdown of fats. Why is it not happening? Why are we accumulating fats, and shedding proteins? Which proteins are we shedding? the fibers? what was substituted for that? c/be the b subtilis? not sure will look more into that.
more later.

another fungi involving sugars? The fungus T. reesei rose to dubious fame during World War II when military leaders discovered it was responsible for rapid deterioration of clothing and tents in the South Pacific. Named after Dr. Elwyn T. Reese, who, with colleagues, originally isolated the hungry fungus, T. reesei was later identified as a source of industrial enzymes and a role model for the conversion of cellulose and hemicellulose--plant fibers--into simple sugars. it ate clothes?.................... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080504153753.htmskytroll

From your Link Sky............. Schematic of a junction between two organic semiconductors, an anthracene derivative containing free positive ions and a ruthenium, complex containing negative ions. When the two are joined, ions diffuse across the junction creating a difference in energy levels that facilitates rectification, electroluminiscence and photovoltaic response. For experimental purposes the materials were sandwiched between electrodes made of gold and indium tin oxide. The latter is transparent.

www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/05/080504153753.htmFrom you LINK SKY........ I see what your saying....what proteins are we shedding? ScienceDaily (May 5, 2008) — A spidery fungus with a voracious appetite for military uniforms and canvas tents could hold the key to improvements in the production of biofuels, a team of government, academic and industry researchers has announced. The photo shows a microscope image of the fungus Tricoderma reesei growth filaments. In the image, proteins in fungal cells are stained red, while chitin, a component of the cell walls, is stained blue. (Credit: Courtesy of Mari Valkonen, VTT Finland) In a paper published today in Nature Biotechnology, researchers led by Los Alamos National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute announced that the genetic sequence of the fungus Tricoderma reesei has uncovered important clues about how the organism breaks down plant fibers into simple sugars. The finding could unlock possibilities for industrial processes that can more efficiently and cost effectively convert corn, switchgrass and even cellulose-based municipal waste into ethanol. Ethanol from waste products is a more-carbon-neutral alternative to gasoline.

A water mold from a streamen.wikipedia.org/wiki/OomycetesOomycetes also known as Water molds (or water moulds: see spelling differences) are a group of filamentous, unicellular Heterokonts, physically resembling fungi. They are microscopic, absorptive organisms that reproduce both sexually and asexually and are composed of mycelia, or a tube-like vegetative body (all of an organism's mycelia are called its thallus). The name "water mold" refers to their earlier classification as fungi, which stemmed from their preference for conditions of high humidity and running surface water, although they are now known to have evolved separately and show a number of differences. For instance, their cell walls are composed of cellulose rather than chitin and generally do not have septations. Also, in the vegetative state they have diploid nuclei, whereas fungi have haploid nuclei.Instead, water molds are related to organisms such as brown algae and diatoms, making up a group called the heterokonts. The name comes from the common arrangement and structure of motile cells, which typically have two unequal flagella. Among the water molds, these are produced as asexual spores called zoospores, which capitalize on surface water (including precipitation on plant surfaces) for movement. They also produce sexual spores, called oospores, that are translucent double-walled spherical structures used to survive adverse environmental conditions. A few produce aerial asexual spores that are distributed by wind. The water molds are economically and scientifically important because they are aggressive plant pathogens (see plant pathology). Some species can cause disease in fish. The majority can be broken down into three groups, although more exist.The Phytophthora group is a genus that causes diseases such as dieback, late blight in potatoes (the cause of the Great Hunger or Potato Famine of the 1840s in Ireland), sudden oak death, rhododendron root rot, and Ink Disease in the American Chestnut. The Pythium group is even more prevalent than Phytophythora and individual species have larger host ranges, usually causing less damage. Pythium damping off is a very common problem in greenhouses where the organism kills newly emerged seedlings. Mycoparasitic members of this group (e.g. P. oligandrum) parasitize other oomycetes and fungi, and have been employed as biocontrol agents. One Pythium species, Pythium insidiosum is also known to infect mammals. The third group are the downy mildews, which are easily identifiable by the appearance of white "mildew" on leaf surfaces (although this group can be confused with the unrelated powdery mildews) Water mould attacking an aquatic insect nymph.Classification of OomycetesTraditionally, this group was thought to include types of fungi, and indeed fungi themselves were once believed to be closely related to plants. However, further research has concluded that this is not true and that fungi are more closely related to animals. Many species of Oomycetes are still described or listed as types of fungi and may sometimes be referred to as pseudofungi, or lower fungi. Oomycetes are actually members of the chromistans, which are in turn part of the larger Kingdom Protoctista.

www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/chromista/oomycota.htmlWater molds were once thought to be fungi.The Oomycota were once classified as fungi, because of their filamentous growth, and because they feed on decaying matter like fungi. The cell wall of oomycetes, however, is not composed of chitin, as in the fungi, but is made up of a mix of cellulosic compounds and glycan. The nuclei within the filaments are diploid, with two sets of genetic information, not haploid as in the fungi. The ultrastructure, biochemistry, and molecular sequences of these organisms indicate that they belong with the Chromista. The free-swimming spores which are produced bear two dissimilar flagella, one with mastigonemes; this feature is common in the chromists, as is the presence of the chemical mycolaminarin, an energy storage molecule similar to those found in kelps and diatoms. T hus, although oomycetes are in the minority as heterotrophic chromists, they quite definitely belong with these other chromist groups. Parasitic water molds damage fish and many crop plants.Some water molds are parasites on other organisms; they may grow on the scales or eggs of fish, or on amphibians. The water mold Saprolegnia causes lesions on fish which cause problems when the water is rather stagnant, as in aquaria or fish farms, or at high population densities, such as when salmon swim upstream to spawn. Other species of Saprolegnia are parasitic on aquatic invertebrates such as rotifers, nematodes, and arthropods, and on diatoms. Their greatest impact on humans, however, comes from the many species of water mold which are parasites on flowering plants. These include root rotting fungi, seedling dampening mold, blister rusts, white rusts (Albugo), and the downy mildews that affect grapes, lettuce, corn, cabbage, and many other crop plants. Two of these disease-causing chromists have had a major impact on world history. The first of these is Phytophthora infestans, the organism which causes late blight of potato. The potato is native to North America, but once it was introduced to Europe, it quickly became an important food crop. Late blight did not follow its host plant across the Atlantic until much later; the disease organism grows into the stem and leaf tissues, causing death, and may also infest the tubers, which are the part of the plant that is eaten. The disease spreads rapidly under cool and damp conditions, which are common in western Europe. In one week during the summer of 1846, this diease wiped out almost the entire potato crop of Ireland, a crop which was the primary food of the poor at that time. Nearly a million Irish died in the Great Famine, and an additional one-and-a-half million emigrated to other countries, including America. Thus, if you are an American with Irish ancestry, it was probably the oomycetes that brought your family here. Other species of Phytophthora destroy eucalyptus, avocado, pineapples, and other tropical crop plants. The other oomycete which has severely impacted recent history is pictured at right -- Plasmopara viticola, the downy mildew of grapes. It also is a native of North America, but in the late 1870s was accidentally introduced to Europe. At the time, the French wine industry was concerned over a massive aphid infestation, and so brought resistant vine strains over from America to breed them into their own grapes. When these American stocks arrived, they also brought the downy mildew, which almost wiped out the entire French wine industry. The industry was saved by the serendipitous discovery of Bordeaux mixture, a mixture of lime and copper sulfate, which brought the disease under control when applied to the leaves of the plants. This discovery is also important for being the first known fungicide, and in fact the first chemical used to control a plant disease.
