[Ressenya del llibre Il "genere" dei libri. Storie e rappresentazioni della lectura al femminile e al maschile tra Medioevo e età moderna, de Tiziana Plebani]

"Cada escritura nace de un deseo, de una pasión ..., los libros, que parecen objetos inanimados, ocultan mucho más que ideas". Comparto estas palabras de Tiziana Plebani, su libro, sin duda, es fruto del deseo de aunar la historia erudita del libro con la atención a lo particular, a lo cotidiano, y con la voluntad de dar espacio a los cuerpos de las mujeres y de los hombres en la historia de lo escrito en la Europa Mediterránea, especialmente en Italia, y es un deseo hecho realidad

Sympodiomyces attinorum sp nov., a yeast species associated with nests of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens

Four strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from laboratory nests of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens in Brazil. Three strains were found in older sponges and one was in a waste deposit in the ant nests. Sequencing of the D1/D2 region of the large-subunit rRNA gene showed that the novel species, named Sympodiomyces attinorum sp. nov., is phylogenetically related to Sympodiomyces parvus. Unlike Sympodiomyces parvus, Sympodiomyces attinorum can ferment glucose, assimilate methyl alpha-D-glucoside, salicin and citrate, and grow at 37 degreesC, thus enabling these two species to be distinguished. Differentiation from other related species is possible on the basis of other growth characteristics. The type strain of Sympodiomyces attinorum is UNESP-S156(T) (=CBS 9734(T)=NRRL Y-27639(T)).
