Talk:Neurospora crassa

Contradiction?[edit]

There seems to be a contradiction between these two phrases:

"Neurospora crassa is a type of red bread mold of the phylum Ascomycota. . . . In its natural environment, N. crassa lives mainly in tropical and sub-tropical regions. It can be found growing on dead plant matter after fires."

If you mean between growing on bread and growing on dead plant material, not necessarily. I imagine Neurospora *must* use other nutrient sources than bread, since baking bread is only six thousand or so years old... --♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ (talk) 01:27, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if bread is the only medium it can use?HexaRose (talk) 03:25, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Taxonomy[edit]

Should have the class Sordariomycetes, not Ascomycetes. Division is Ascomycota.

The number genes)[edit]

Is the total number of genes exactly 9,730 or just 'approximately 10.000'? Maybe a source could be useful. GianMarco Tavazzani (talk) 07:06, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
