#nematode — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐛🕳️ A single devil worm (Halicephalobus mephisto) found 1.3 km deep in a South African #gold mine rewrote what scientists thought possible for #animal #life.

Researchers have since studied its heat-resistant #proteins and temperature-dependent #energy system. The #worm survives without sunlight or #oxygen, sustained by deep subsurface #bacteria that may have been isolated for hundreds of millions of years.

@frankashwood I love your stories about these tiny worlds and can't await your book.

#Halalaimus is a microscopic #nematode genus commonly found in sediment on the seafloor. It lives 1–5 cm below the sediment surface and grazes on bacteria or organic materials in the sediment.

How do nematodes evade fungal predators? This study reveals that a #NuclearHormoneReceptor alters the #nematode cuticle, allowing them to evade #fungal adhesive traps. But this is costly, as escaping worms are more delicate & sensitive to osmotic stress @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/45QMA1T
