As it is he who "sought" me a little, I will allow myself. There are two ways to sell 3 copies: a) write a good book and be lucky; b) write 000 shits sold at 100 copies (there are always people who click on a tempting title, even if there is nothing behind).

He must be on the lookout for all modes. After a good Mac, you gather things that hang on the internet, and presto, it's packed.

Two remarks of detail which came to me while passing over passages of your book:

: Arrow: In the chapter on bacteria, you write that they are organisms that have very simple DNA. I happen to be immersing myself in another book on fermentation. What I read about bacteria there is fascinating: it seems that microbiologists and others are talking about the amazing abilities of bacteria to interact with the potentials of the surrounding genome. For example, unlike our eukaryotic cells with fixed DNA, prokaryotic bacteria "have floating genes which they exchange with each other". So much so that we could not really speak of distinct species for these bacteria! "Bacteria are more of a continuum." These gene exchanges would explain the incredible adaptive capacity and resilience of bacteria, which thus choose to carry the genes they need at the time by transferring them from other bacteria! The researchers are thus recomposing a new image of bacteria: far from being simplistic and inferior forms of life, they are on the contrary highly evolved organisms bringing into play complex forms of resilience and survival and which co-evolve with other living beings (plants , animals...).

: Arrow: In the chapter on mushrooms, you write that these are the only organisms to break down lignin. I do not know where it came from this time but I remembered that woodlice attacked woody material as well. Do you have details?

1) Yes. But my chapter is already too long and complicated. Still, it's a very simple DNA, compared to our chromosomes ... If people already remember that ...

2) Yes. Lack of precision: only microorganism I meant. There are, of course, wood-eating insects - termites, etc. Termites that play in Africa a role equivalent to our anecdotes!

I have not found reliable information indicating that woodlice digest lignin. It should be noted that one must distinguish between "triturating" a material and digesting it: bumblebees and other insects make galleries in the wood, but do not digest it.

Unlike other insects, such as termites, bark beetles, etc. Who, them - or often their larvae! - digest lignin.

Ok. Well I would say for myself that this chapter is rich! And in the end he joins this desire to rehabilitate bacteria and show that they are not only disease vectors, far from it!

I pinches but the behaved are crustaceans. I do not think they are specialists for lignin.
They are often found or there is none.
Of course this does not prove that they do not digest it.

You speak of woodlice. Yes, you are right to correct: they are "crustaceans". I wrote wrongly "d'autres insects ... "I had the few wood-eating insects in mind.

I'm going to have to buy Nery's book - which I wonder what he's doing here, like the one on hemp string, by the way, or dog training! For ten days, I dive, dive, dive !!!! I do not know if there was a bad review somewhere ... On the other hand, I sleep apnea, which is not good for my heart!
