How does the #corneal #lens in the #fly eye get its light-focusing shape? This study shows that central cells produce large amounts of #chitin to form the thick central corneal lens; peripheral cells produce smaller amounts of chitin to form tapered lens edges @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4lLNgeY

#MarineFungi Could Eat #PlasticPollution, Helping to Clean Our #Oceans and #Beaches
Learn more about the marine #fungi that could be conditioned to help clean up #Hawaii’s beaches.
By Monica Cull
Feb 14, 2025 4:00 PMFeb 14, 2025 4:01 PM"Hawaii is home to some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes. Striking blue waters, lush jungles, and pristine beaches make it a paradise. It’s also home to other unique inhabitants, such as sea turtles, dolphins, and… plastics?
"According to a new study from the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa, plastics are becoming the most prevalent form of pollution in the ocean, which can be detrimental to marine species and their habitat. However, researchers from UH discovered a fungus from Hawai‘i’s nearshore environment that may have the ability to break down plastics, and to top it off, they may be conditioned to do it faster. The findings were recently published in Mycologia.
" 'Plastic in the environment today is extremely long-lived and is nearly impossible to degrade using existing technologies,' said Ronja Steinbach, lead author of the study and a marine biology undergraduate student at the UH Mānoa College of Natural Sciences, in a press release.
"Marine fungi may be a term you’ve never heard before. This is likely due to the fact that less than 1 percent of marine fungi are known to science.
" 'Our research highlights marine fungi as a promising and largely untapped group to investigate for new ways to recycle and remove plastic from #nature. Very few people study fungi in the ocean, and we estimated that fewer than one percent of marine fungi are currently described,' said Steinbach in the press release.
"For this study, the research team looked at marine fungi found in #corals, #seaweed, #sand, and #sponges from Hawai’i’s nearshore. And they hope that the fungi could help degrade plastics in the marine environment.
" 'Fungi possess a superpower for eating things that other organisms can’t digest (like #wood or #chitin), so we tested the fungi in our collection for their ability to digest plastic,' said Anthony Amend, Pacific Biosciences Research Center professor and co-lead author of the study, in a press release.
The Hungry Fungi
"The team exposed the fastest-growing fungi to small dishes filled with #polyurethane, a common plastic, and noted if and how fast the fungi would consume it. The team also 'experimentally evolved' the fungi to see if they would grow and consume more polyurethane the more they were exposed to the plastic.
" 'We were shocked to find that more than 60 percent of the fungi we collected from the ocean had some ability to eat plastic and transform it into fungi,' Steinbach said in a press release. 'We were also impressed to see how quickly fungi were able to adapt. It was very exciting to see that in just three months, a relatively short amount of time, some of the fungi were able to increase their feeding rates by as much as 15 percent.'
"The research team is currently working to see if these marine fungi can break down other forms of plastics, such as #polyethylene and #PolyethyleneTerephthalate. They’re also trying to understand how, at a molecular level, these fungi can degrade these plastics.
" 'We hope to collaborate with #engineers, #chemists, and #oceanographers who can leverage these findings into actual solutions to clean up our beaches and oceans,' said Steinbach in a press release.

Der Schaum besteht aus #Baumwollzellulose und #Chitin und zieht #Kunststoffpartikel effektiv an.
Noch ist unklar, wie der Schaum nach der Aufnahme recycelt werden kann. Dieses Verfahren könnte ein wichtiger Schritt im Kampf gegen #Mikroplastik sein. 🌊♻️

Defect Designer – Chitin Review
By Dolphin Whisperer
Where do you even start with a band like Defect Designer? Part Trollfest, part Diskord—one fewer part now that bassist Eyvind Wærsted Axelsen has moved on since his brief participation on 2022’s blasting EP Neanderthal—and three parts weird, this eclectic Russian-by-way-of-Norway export hasn’t defined one singular sound for itself over the years. Full-length debut Wax showcased their would-be trademark of wildly bouncing riffs and pulse-hopping bass runs against an of-the-time mid-00s groovy Morbid Angel death metal that felt like it could have fit on a bill with Terra Incognita-era Gojira—except it was 2009! 2015’s Ageing Accelerator saw an injection of Cryptopsy punch enlisting the legendary Flo Mounier himself to add a kit smattering across the extra carnival synth embellished and hard-to-love sophomore outing. However, trimmed to grind lengths and with the quirky musical spirit of Diskord emboldened, Neanderthal proved to be less prehistoric and more fresh in attack than any of their past efforts, a true progression. Now with a fresh coat of Chitin, does Defect Designer threaten to strike hot again?
Before we get into the music that this newest effort presents, we can’t pass the most obvious link between the spirit of Neanderthal and Chitin: that glorious, intricately crosshatched Ian Miller artwork. Every buggy, creepy cornstalk; every sneering, veiny pillar; every paisley-mouthed demon spewing from the warped manor that houses Defect Designers’ unsettling thoughts, this cover continues the off-kilter, funhouse aesthetic into which this ensemble has slowly settled. With a scratchy, sliding scrawl, Defect Designer carves through many of Chitin’s twisted numbers a tense riffcraft that falls in line with skronk-bearing grind acts like Antigama or Atka, and its funkier bass-pop predilection also reminds me of the seemingly similar-minded underground groove of the recent Arthouse Fatso release. But rather than find a uniting, quirky lyrical theme, Defect Designer simply aims to tie together the room with referential tones and an insistence on remaining strange.
The problem, though, with valuing weirdness above all else is that Chitin, outside of pushing its image to a breaking point, does very little to hook the listener in that lane, at least not right away. Defect Designer leads with high crunch, wide-focus riffs, which struggle to leave a mark across the front half of Chitin. As sonically thrilling as many of the buzzing intros are, these kinds squirmy footings largely render as a blur in high doses, that is until the extra-torqued grind of “Certainty After the Kafkaesque Twist” and the slower escalation of “Gaudy Colors from Your Plastic Bag.” Ironically, the tangling of these two cuts highlights both how out-of-place Björn Strid’s Night Flight Orchestra intrusion on “Shine Shine” rests against all else, as it does exactly what the song implies. Glaring, garish, galloping, it kind of works, like a dark chocolate spread on a spicy wedge of salami.
Reaching back into the rhythmic oddities that carved the most vicious edges of Neanderthal, it’s the closing quartet that really brings home what makes modern Defect Designer work. Session smasher Eugene Ryabchenko (Fleshgod Apocalypse,1 Burial Hordes2) sprinkles in jazz club cymbal walks (“Story of a Styrofoam”), circus folk pomp (“Nu, Pogodi!”), all while striking back down to a crashing groove (“Insomnia”) or pummeling death metal assault (“Orgone Accumulator”). These cuts don’t feel entirely like a different band, but the writing focus on them builds around rhythm instead of in spite of it, allowing the tricky six-string work to find a home amongst more defined swells and splits. A few earlier hits come close to this kind of cohesion, but with the intro of “Uglification Spell” setting the tone early with a hard multi-second pause that stutters the album’s first strut, Chitin does not set itself up for a flowing success.
Despite its flaws, though, Chitin remains fun and forward-moving in its forty-minute run. Unlike other bands that tip-toe about the progressive moniker with flashy time changes and virtuosic squealing, Defect Designer wears its technical prowess to steer the audience around its misdirecting halls and trap doors. While the path that these devious death metallers take poses its own hurdles, Defect Designer stumbles about with full commitment to an outré attitude with a refreshing honesty. Sure, it’s taken them three full-lengths and an EP to really nail down what that means, but that leaves the future looking bright, still, for Defect Designer. Bright and weird.
