Back to the 'strange colors' theme:

The hand-colored parts of the title page woodcut were advertising proof of the book's content. And in the book, you find, among other details, recipes and mixing advices to paint for example with arsenic-containing components like #orpiment.

A deep-sea hydrothermal vent worm detoxifies arsenic and sulfur by intracellular biomineralization of orpiment (As2S3) The deep-sea worm Paralvinella hessleri thrives in extreme hydrothermal vents, tolerating high arsenic and hydrogen sulfide levels. This study shows that it detoxifies both by forming orpiment (As₂S₃)...

New paper in PLOS Biology explains how #hotvent worm P. hessleri detoxifies arsenic and sulphide from #hydrothermal vent fluid by creating #orpiment
