However, with the passage of time, stimulating the fluorescent fungi through the blue star environment has gradually changed some of its characteristics.
Fluorescent fungi will affect bluestar organisms and cause them to mutate. It is they and photosynthesis that secrete a special protein, a minimalist protein similar to prion.
Zhou Jingwei named the protein "gene chimeric protein". As the name suggests, this special protein can be embedded in the biological gene sequence.
This forced chimerism into the host gene sequence will naturally cause crazy mutation of the host gene.
Biological genes are like mathematical formulas, which are the magical crystallization of natural environment for hundreds of millions of years. If a large number of numbers are inserted into these formulas, the calculation results will naturally change
This is the core factor of host gene mutation caused by fluorescing fungi
Chapter five hundred and sixteen Failure evolution
For the so-called gene chimeric protein Huang Xiuyuan naturally knows that this protein will have a world-famous name-mutant protein in the future.
"Did you find anything in the animal experiment of chimeric protein?"
Zhou Jingwei answered excitedly, "How many discoveries have been made?"
With that, he took out a special tablet with a sign ≠. Huang Xiuyuan immediately knew that this tablet was a simple device that could not be connected by wire, mainly for information with high security level.
Zhou Jingwei found an encrypted file "Academician Huang, this is what we found"
Carefully browse again Huang Xiuyuan lost in thought.
After all, the epidemic of fungus balls in Mars mythology caused an indelible tragedy. At that time, human beings had already figured out a lot about the fungus.
The number of chimeric proteins inserted is usually the same as the number of chromosomes, and the number of chimeric proteins inserted into a pair of chromosomes will not exceed 6.
Or once the chimeric protein is inserted too much, it will not promote the mutation of the host gene, but promote the collapse of the host gene
In fact, this is also the source of virulence of the first generation of fluorescent fungi-a chimeric protein is forcibly inserted into the gene sequence, and it is easy to collapse if the number of inserted genes exceeds 6.
According to the data in Huang Xiuyuan’s memory, the number of chimeric proteins secreted by the first generation of fluorescent fungi is generally about 12~3.
At this stage, the mortality rate of fluorescent fungi is as high as 65~75%, and there are usually about 12~1 chimeric proteins inserted into a single chromosome of some lucky people.
However, Zhou Jingwei’s team has reduced the number of chimeric proteins inserted into a single pair of chromosomes to 4~ after dozens of generations of cultivation and screening, and it is currently in a relatively safe stage.
Of course, although this number will not be fatal immediately, the genetic mutation is enough to make the host wish it were dead.
What’s more, it’s not that fluorescing fungi mutate the host gene to make the host evolve. It seems that many hosts have been "strengthened". In fact, this is the lucky deviation.
Those mutants that adapt to the environment or are not strong enough have received lunch boxes, and the rest naturally appear strong.
Fluorescent fungi transform their hosts only to reproduce and leave their genes behind.
Finally, it shows the symbiotic mode, which is also because it can’t be symbiotic. The hosts are all finished, and the rest of nature is symbiosis.
"Jingwei, you found that allicin can inhibit the rapid propagation of fluorescing fungi, which can be further studied here." Huang Xiuyuan said.
Jing-wei zhou one leng immediately answered "allicin? But I will organize a team to follow up this aspect. "
Although I don’t know what Huang Xiuyuan likes about allicin, his intuition tells him that allicin is worth digging deeply.
After the fluorescent fungi were obtained, the laboratory did a lot of antifungal drug tests in the hope of finding out the drugs to treat or fight the fluorescent fungi.
In a list of drugs, the killing effect of allicin is generally the same, and the inhibitory effect is also the middle level, which is stronger than that of allicin.
Huang Xiuyuan knew all about this, but he knew that ordinary allicin actually suppressed the bond of fluorescent fungi, and later generations developed allicin-—KE24, a highly effective fungal inhibitor.
Allicin is not another antifungal drug, but the mutation rate of fluorescing fungi is too fast, and the drug resistance will increase greatly in half a year, and other drugs will soon lose their effect.
On the contrary, allicin has been able to maintain its inhibitory effect for a long time and is not prone to drug resistance.
These are all information tested by human life in later generations.
After in-depth study, scientists will find that allicin will suppress the activity and mutation rate of three gene fragments of fluorescing fungi, and the probability of mutation of these three gene fragments is very small.
Therefore, it has the effect of targeting drugs on fluorescing fungi, and this inhibition can be maintained for a long time. Later developed allicin-—KE24 can quickly kill fluorescing fungi in human body with another targeting drug to realize the treatment of fluorescing fungi.
At that time, many people in the northern part of the country had the habit of eating raw garlic. At that time, Resident Evil successfully survived the first round of impact.
This cheap and convenient inhibitor has brought great advantages to China.
Huang Xiuyuan also knows that allicin, an assistant to human evolution, is essential to taming fluorescent fungi.
Only by suppressing allicin to fall into a semi-dormant state can we avoid an impact epidemic and cause human death due to high fever.
Huang Xiuyuan read the research report on the influence of fluorescing fungi on the brain.
The host of fluorescing fungi will strengthen the body, because fluorescing fungi have thermophilic and photophobic characteristics and need energy to ensure their own and host’s physiological needs.
In order to obtain energy, the "blue carpet" photosynthetic system formed on the surface of the host of fluorescent fungi can guarantee part of the energy source
The remaining energy demand must be obtained by devouring other organic matter.
Therefore, biological evolution can control the natural law of adding the survival of the fittest to make the host develop stronger, too weak or without a skill, the host can become the food of the strong.
However, this "evolution" is not worth the loss for human beings, because the continuous improvement of physical fitness will inevitably lead to the need for a great increase in energy in the body and suppress the energy response of the brain.
This evolution denies the advantages of human beings for thousands of years-instead, the brain makes human beings and wild animals fight for physical fitness, which can be said to be abandoning the end.
Moreover, in the initial evolution process, due to the strong toxicity of fluorescing fungi, brain cells are prone to serious mental problems such as madness, irrational, amnesia, temperament change, food addiction and brain damage.
What is even more frightening is that these symptoms are irreversible because the fluorescent fungi directly change the host brain cells.
Zhou Jingwei took him to another laboratory, where there were closed cages made of super alloys. These closed cages were twisted and mutated creatures.
Especially those Emeishan macaques, whose bodies expanded in a big circle, immediately went crazy beating and biting the cage at the sight of a figure outside the window.
Huang Xiuyuan frowned.
Zhou Jingwei explained that "these macaques were infected by the first generation of fluorescing fungi and lost their senses, leaving them with the ability to eat and reproduce."
