Luanne Cabiling
 A little over a year after graduating from UCSD, I have finally managed to adjust from the energetic spirit of campus life to the regular 8 to 5. And as much as I've enjoyed the absence of cramming for an exam or the stress of writing papers, I've missed the hustle and bustle of college.
Studying about the world of microbiology fascinated me, so it was natural to decide to go back to school. I plan on applying to Clinical Lab Scientist training programs as well as graduate school in the near future. I'm anxious but tremendously excited to begin a new chapter in my life... even if it includes endless nights at a library. |
| Bug Of The Month | |
Aspergillus niger
 Aspergillus niger is a fungus and one of the most common species of the genus Aspergillus. It causes a disease called black mold on certain fruits and vegetables such as grapes, onions, and peanuts, and is a common contaminant of food. It is ubiquitous in soil and is commonly reported from indoor environments. If large amounts of spores are inhaled, a serious lung disease, aspergillosis can occur. Aspergillosis is, in particular, frequent among horticultural workers that inhale peat dust, which can be rich in Aspergillus spores. It has been found on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs and can be inhaled when the area is disturbed.
