Margaret Church

American mycologist.

Margaret Brooks Church (1889 – 1976) was an American mycologist who specialized in Aspergillus and other fungi involved in food fermentation. She co-authored the first manual on Aspergillus with Charles Thom and worked with Thom on his treatise on Penicillium. She was the first westerner to study the ang-khak fermentation of rice using Monascus purpureus (see: Church, 1920), and studied other Asian soy fermentations involving the fungus known as Aspergillus oryzae. This research culminated in her writing a USDA bulletin entitled Soy and Related Fermentations in 1923. In 1928, she took on a rol

It grows in wet habitat, such as rivers, lakesides, bogs, and swamps. It is a rhizomatous perennial grass producing thick, erect to decumbent, sometimes matted stems which can easily exceed one meter in maximum length. The inflorescence is a branching panicle up to 25 centimeters long by 12 wide containing compressed spikelets with up to 8 florets each.

Elymus svensonii (Svenson's Wildrye) Church 1967
perennial plant species in the poaceae family
Elymus svensonii, commonly called Svenson's wildrye, is a species of flowering plant in the grass family (Poaceae). It is native to United States, where it is endemic to the Interior Low Plateau of Kentucky and Tennessee. Its natural habitat is on dry, rocky, limestone river bluffs. It is a rare species, with a restricted range and narrow suitable habitat. Because of these reasons it is considered to be "Vulnerable" (G3) by NatureServe. However, estimating population size is difficult due to its habitat on sheer cliffs, which are dangerous for researchers to access. It is possible that in
