There are concerns that the widespread use of fungicides to spray agricultural crops could lead to fungal resistance to similar compounds used in medicine.Credit: Andrii Yalanskyi/Getty Candida auris is a frightening yeast. It was first identified in 2009, in the inflamed ear canal of a Tokyo-based septuagenarian1. Within a decade, researchers had found the yeast in ill people around the world. C. auris is often resistant to disinfectants and antifungal drugs, and can be difficult to kill. Betw

Scientists are suggesting there may be a brand new type of life — or, at least, that one existed back in the day. In a new, yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, scientists from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland argue that the massive and mysterious tubelike fossils known as "prototaxites" deserve their own life form classification because, basically, they're too weird to belong to any other. Since their discovery in the 1800s, prototaxites have long been a head-scratcher and a point of content

Hundreds of millions of years ago, mysterious life forms called Prototaxites towered toward the sky. Believed to be the first giant organisms to thrive on dry land, some species of Prototaxites grew up to 26 feet (8 meters) in height and resembled tree trunks composed of tiny interconnected tubes. Their position in the greater tree of life has been hotly debated for over a century and a half. New research suggests this is because Prototaxites don’t have a place in the tree of life as we know it—

A bizarre ancient life-form, considered to be the first giant organism to live on land, may belong to a totally unknown branch of the tree of life, scientists say. These organisms, named Prototaxites, lived around 420 million to 375 million years ago during the Devonian period and resembled branchless, cylindrical tree trunks. These organisms would have been massive, with some species growing up to 26 feet (8 meters) tall and 3 feet (1 meter) wide. Since the first Prototaxites fossil was disco

As a result, the plants are bigger and produce more flowers. Credit: A
