Concern regarding formatting

I've finished listing the points. I've gathered from my research. My references show up just fine but only the first point among them will show up. The rest are in the code so I imagine I'm just overlooking something stupid but I can't figure out what it is and really don't want to lose marks over something like this. Please help.

Let me take a look and I'll see what I can do. Medmyco (talk) 19:12, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Fixed. So the problem is that when you cite the reference by the short name, you need to do it like this: <ref name=referencetitle /> -- in other words, followed by a space and a backslash. Medmyco (talk) 19:22, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Assignment 2

Could you find any more information on where your fungus was isolated? I'm thinking natural environments and also industrial processes and human environments. You could also say something about its high salt tolerance (ISBN 9781402036330). As you work through an convert these points into an article, you may need to explain a bit more about how conidia are formed. The paper by Gaskins and Cheung might be useful (Mycopathologia 93: 173-184, 1986). There is no Wikipedia page on the term annellide, although there is a page on the term phialide (but there is no illustration). Essentially, and annellide is just phialide where the spot at which subsequent conidia are formed advances a little bit with each conidium. It would be useful of these terms were cleaned up a little bit on Wikipedia. I might look into that. Medmyco (talk) 19:34, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Assignment 3; Sandbox Suggestions

Hello! Some information that you may want to include:

• Has been isolated from hemodialysis units, along with other Exophiala species (DOI: 10.1007/s11046-013-9633-4).
• Appearance similar to that of E. jeanselmei, but can be distinguished by the inability to grow at 37°, as well as by differences in conidia form. Link,ISBN: 0203909100
• The paper Medmyco recommended describes the organism's development in great detail, and will be useful.

You might want to divide the article under the headers Appearance and General Description, Pathology (subheadings Human infections and Infection of marine animals), Secondary Metabolites (where you would describe potential antibiotic, HIV-1 integrase inhibiting properties of E. pisciphila secondary metabolites), and perhaps Plant-Fungal Interactions.

I hope you found some of these recommendations useful ☺. Best of luck with your article! Czeer (talk) 19:00, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
