Hi I looked through your sandbox and I came up with few more suggestions to make it even better! I suggest you to go through the useful book reference that Prof. gave us. Maybe try to find all the books and gather all the information about M. circinelloides. I think that will make your reference list to look more professional and also adds on to quality of the information on your organism. I also think that all the information you gathered fall well under each headings. However maybe try to find some unique or interesting facts of M. circinelloides and make new headings or points about those. That will make your page more interesting I think. I found "pubmed" and "web of science" really useful in terms of finding recent researches on the organism. So maybe you should go through the results under your organism and gather some new knowledge or useful information and put them in your sandbox! Since you mentioned about human pathogen of your organism so probably start from there?

So far, your page looks great but little bit more information will make it better I guess. Good job! Janghaya (talk) 02:09, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi there,

I looked through your sandbox about your species and here are some suggestions for improving your final articles in the following.

For History and taxonomy section:

Please do not forget to include a definition of your species (within a sentence) at first.
Please briefly introduce history of who and how the scientists discovered your species, you can find the information from one of the databases provided in the dashboard (such as under “Obligate or homotypic synonyms” and “Facultative or heterotypic synonyms” section on Mycobank). And please do not forget to fill “synonym” section in the Taxobox as well.

For Growth and morphology section:

Please include scientific words describing specific traits, for example, your species “reproduce asexually” in Growth and morphology section and your species is “psychrophilic” in Physiology section. Though we have the background knowing that sporangiophores and sporangia only exist in fungal asexual reproduction, most of the audience do not have the same background.

For Physiology section:

I think the 5th point in Physiology section saying “In particular conditions, M. circinelloides can assume …” should be included in Growth and morphology section instead since it is actually talking about the morphology under different conditions. And you may find out more information about what particular conditions that your species would switch to yeast form in this case report: Z. U. Khan, S. Ahmad, A. Brazda, and R. Chandy, “Mucor circinelloides as a cause of invasive maxillofacial zygomycosis: an emerging dimorphic pathogen with reduced susceptibility to posaconazole,” Journal of Clinical Microbiology, vol. 47, no. 4, pp. 1244–1248, 2009.
Please also include the enzymes your species would produce for their living since I found that your species can be found in soybean and they could secrete some enzymes breaking down the macronutrients in soybean for their use. Please take a look at this parimary article: Kim, D., Kim, S., Kwon, S., Lee, J., & Hong, S. (2015). The mycobiota of air inside and outside the meju fermentation room and the origin of meju fungi. Mycobiology, 43(3), 258-265. doi:10.5941/MYCO.2015.43.3.258.

For Habitat and ecology section:

I found there are some primary papers proved that actually your species produces mycotoxin, such as 3-nitropropropionic acid. Please take a look into this primary paper: Hollmann, M., Razzazi-Fazeli, E., Grajewski, J., Twaruzek, M., Sulyok, M., & Böhm, J. (2008). Detection of 3-nitropropionic acid and cytotoxicity inMucor circinelloides. Mycotoxin Research, 24(3), 140-150. doi:10.1007/BF03032341. You might be able to include primary papers in your reference list if you cannot find secondary sources about the mycotoxins. But please ask Prof. Scott via e-mail before you do so.
Please re-order the points in this section as you process your final article. For example, the 5th point (ie. “Habitat- Food, indoor”) should be addressed before the points talking about we can find your species on what kinds of food.
Please try to be more specific about the habitats. For example, where and under what conditions can we find your species indoor?

Others:

Please do not forget to link the key words correlated Wikipedia pages, such as “sporangia”, which redirects the audience to another Wikipedia pages for further information
Please check the typos existed in the article.

Hope these help. Good Luck!!! Cyril.li (talk) 13:47, 26 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
