Fuligo septica contains a yellow pigment called fuligorubin A that is thought to be involved in photoreception and in the process of energy conversion during its life cycle. [16] In 2011, a Japanese research group reported isolating and characterizing a new chlorine -containing yellow pigment from a specific strain of the organism that they ...
F. necrophorum infection (also called F-throat [12]) usually responds to treatment with augmentin or metronidazole, but penicillin treatment for persistent pharyngitis appears anecdotally to have a higher relapse rate, although the reasons are unclear. [citation needed]
The nymphs secrete a waxy white substance over their bodies for protection from water loss and excessive sun.

[8] Other complications from infection can include heart attack, kidney failure, gangrene and amputation of limbs. [9]

Streptolysin O is an oxygen-sensitive cytotoxin, secreted by most group A Streptococcus (GAS), and interacts with cholesterol in the membrane of eukaryotic cells (mainly red and white blood cells, macrophages, and platelets), and usually results in beta-hemolysis under the surface of blood agar. Streptolysin S is an oxygen-stable cytotoxin also ...
They are dark metallic blue with white polka-dots on the wings and upper abdomen, and the tip of the abdomen is bright red. This mimicry makes it look like a dangerous wasp, while in fact being a harmless moth. The caterpillars are orange or dark orange with long black hairs making the caterpillars look dangerous, but the setae do not inflict ...
