Shiny Alien Fish Threatens Laguna Lake’s Ecosystem
Ateneo de Manila University biologists recently confirmed the fish’s existence in the lake. The researchers conducted a thorough morphological analysis of a specimen caught in 2024. This isn’t just any fish; it’s the Barbonymus schwanefeldii, also known as the tinfoil barb. Its presence is raising serious concerns among scientists.
Filipino Researchers Integrate Microbiome Science into Architectural Design
Filipino researchers have developed a groundbreaking framework that integrates architectural design standards with urban microbiome research. Their research focused on the impact of ventilation and human occupancy on indoor bacterial levels.
Filipino Fermented Fish Yields Antifungal Bacteria
Filipino researchers discovered a powerful antifungal agent within a traditional fermented fish dish. Burong isda, a popular Pampanga delicacy, harbors a bacterium. This bacterium shows significant promise in combating Aspergillus fumigatus, a fungus that infects weakened immune systems. Study found that while the bacterium might struggle in highly acidic environments like the stomach, it thrives in less acidic parts of the digestive tract. Importantly, the bacteria possess genes that boost the immune system and produce essential B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, and B9).
