06/05/18- Chose Pseudonocardia for both review and for Wikipedia project


 * Gram Reaction? Unknown if it's gram - or +, judging by the article information
 * Where is the organism found? on the cuticle of leafcutter ants
 * 3 interesting things?
 * Found on leafcutter ants
 * Has antibiotic properties to protect the fungi that is grown by the ants
 * There are many, many different strains of Pseudonocardia. This article lists 52 of them all with a hyperlink. The hyperlinks are also very sparse with information. Some of them only provide one line of information with little detail about the organism.


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Yes, with very little information as a whole.
 * Is there anything that distracted you? No
 * Is any information out of date? It could be; b/c of the lack of expansion on the topic and the fact that one of the website links doesn't work anymore.
 * Is anything missing that could be added? More cited sources, more information about the organism and where it hails from, how it grows, causative agents, etc.
 * What else could be improved? Information bulk
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? None
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? One of the website links doesn't work. There is an interesting link that brings you to the "Bacterial Diversity Metadatabase"
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? At least one of the 3 sources seems reliable. Could definitely use some work with the citations.
 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? None
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? The article "is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment."
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? N/a we've never talked about this in class.

06/07/19- chose topics to edit/evaluate

- Gram reaction is positive

- Delete the website that doesn't work: bacterio.cict.fr

- Add a photo:

- Plan to add more information after more research, as information is very sparse at this time

06/13/19- Settled on Pseudonocardia bacteria for microorganism article. Chose 3 citations for article. Including Wikipedia citation links and MLA format for sources

06/19/19- Added a interesting fact with citation to my article: Pseudonocardia is found to have antibiotic properties provided to the leaf-cutter ant to inhibit the grown of Escovopsis, which is a black yeast that parasitizes the leaf-cutter ant.

06/30/19 Rough draft of contributions to article: Photo of Pseudonocardia Pseudonocardia can be found in both aquatic (including marine) and terrestrial ecosystems. Pseudonocardia can be referred to as a Actinobacteria. Most Actinobacteria are grown in soils that are of a neutral pH. Actinobacteria are also important in plant-associated microbial communities are referred to as "free-living." This means that they are not dependent on another organism to live. Pseudonocardia is found to have antibiotic properties provided to the leaf cutter ant to inhibit the growth of Escovopsis which is a black yeast that parasitizes the leaf-cutter ant. When they are grooming, their legs are passed over their mouth gland (metapleural gland) that produces the antibiotic and then their legs touch the fungi while they are walking around. The ants have metapleural glands that produce the antimicrobial components to eliminate the Escovopsis fungi. Pseudonocardia is a catalase-positive, non-motile, aerobic and a non-acid-fasting bacteria and produces a gram positive reaction. Under the microscope they exhibit branching, rod-shaped organisms. There are many different strains of Pseudonocardia and a good portion of these strains have been found in China, in soils of the forest and in Eucalyptus trees of Australia. 07/11/2019 Peer Review/Allison Breen

'''How is the grammar (spelling, punctuation, capitalization, appropriate vocabulary)? "'Most Actinobacteria'' grow in soils"

Are all species names properly formatted? Yes

Are there three distinct paragraphs ? Yes

Is each interesting fact elaborated on enough (3-4 sentences at least)? Yes

Do any of the paragraphs leave you with further questions? I would like to know more about the "free living" and what this means for them.

Are the niche and gram stain of the organism mentioned? Yes

Are 3 sources used throughout the contribution? Yes

Are citations properly formatted? Yes

Do the links to citations work when clicked on? Yes

Is the contribution written from a neutral tone? Yes

Is the contribution written for a lay-audience (someone who might come across this article in the middle of the night on a wiki-binge)? Yes

Yes Photo of Pseudonocardia Pseudonocardia can be found in both aquatic (including marine) and terrestrial ecosystems. Pseudonocardia can be referred to as a Actinobacteria. Most Actinobacteria grow in soils that are of a neutral pH. Actinobacteria are also important in plant-associated microbial communities are referred to as "free-living." This means that they are not dependent on another organism to live. For example: A non-free-living organism would be a parasite that depends on a host as a food source and a place for shelter. "Free-living" also allows these organisms to require less energy and food for survival. Pseudonocardia is found to have antibiotic properties provided to the leaf cutter ant to inhibit the growth of Escovopsis which is a black yeast that parasitizes the leaf-cutter ant. When they are grooming, their legs are passed over their mouth gland (metapleural gland) that produces the antibiotic and then their legs touch the fungi while they are walking around.
