    On June 29th, the research team of the two institutions, together with the Kunming Institute of Plant Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Yunnan Agricultural University, jointly published a research paper entitled "The Discovery of New Species of Fungi and Pathogens on a Cave Bat Carcass in Yunnan Province" in the international journal Emerging Microbiology and Infection, which provides important clues for further exploration of human and wildlife.
    , Xu Jianchu of the Kunming Institute of Plant Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Sheng Jun team of Yunnan Agricultural University discovered seven fungi, four of which were new, on the carcass estoccosis of bats found in a limestone underground rock cave in Yunnan.
    of the four new fungi, three belong to the genus spores, which are nourished by dissolving the body's organic matter.
    but for scientific research, the fourth new species, the New Universe spores, is important because it contains many deadly pathogens that can attack mammals. "Interestingly, the beneficial bacteria in the other three fungi, which act precisely to suppress fungal pathogens, can help protect bats and their communities from other infectious fungi, which could be a whole new ecosystem,"
    .
    " Xu Jianchu, a researcher, said that further study of the interactions between these fungi could yield more meaningful results, such as the possibility of practical application seisciated in the fungicides market.
    " study of the complex relationship between bats, microorganisms, and other cave species in limestone caves has important ecological, social and economic significance.
    " Professor Sheng Jun said cave biology and ecosystems may become a hot spot for biodiversity conservation and the forefront of scientific exploration.
