Jamie and Prof. Hasegawa searched in the Wilderness Preserves for minimally-mutated mycorrhiza to prove that the problem was man-made. On their way into the wilderness, Jamie got infected by the fungus. It liquefied her leg tissue. The CDC believed that it was caused by a virus because these symptoms reminded them of Ebola. Hasegawa later collected tissue samples of Jamie and the fungus in the quarantine zone. He realized that he would need better security measures for the Daodan Chrysalis to [[#Contamination_of_the_ecosystem|avoid endangering the environment]]. | Jamie and Prof. Hasegawa searched in the Wilderness Preserves for minimally-mutated mycorrhiza to prove that the problem was man-made.

If the mycorrhiza or its dangerous DNA strains escape from the defined area, too many lifeforms on the planet would get eradicated. And what could we eat if there’s nothing left but these mycorrhiza? | ||
On the one hand, the mycorrhiza organisms require fertilizers with [http://phys.org/news/2015-06-scientists-molecular-key-potential-gmos.html artificial amino acids]. When the plants and fungi can't consume more of these components, they stop growing. Eventually, a low enough concentration triggers cell death, whereby all the genetic information in dissolved as the final reaction, only leaving the hard shells with radioactive material behind. | On the one hand, the mycorrhiza organisms require fertilizers with [http://phys.org/news/2015-06-scientists-molecular-key-potential-gmos.html artificial amino acids].
