I couldn't find specific information about Alma Mireya Higuera Salvines working at ASCI in 1996. It is possible that this information is not publicly available or documented. If you have more context or details, I might be able to assist you better.
ASci Corporation was created in 1985.
asci
The sac-like structures are called asci. Asci are specialized structures found in Ascomycota that house and protect the ascospores, which are the reproductive cells of the fungi. The presence of asci is a defining characteristic of the Ascomycota phylum.
An ascogonium is a spiral female organ of an ascomycetous fungus from which asci are produced.
After the production of ascospores in asci, the ascospores are released into the environment when the ascus ruptures. The ascospores can then be dispersed by wind, rain, or other means to colonize new areas and continue the life cycle of the fungus.

Ascomycota is referred to as "sac fungi" because their reproductive structures, called asci, produce spores in sac-like structures. They are also called "cup fungi" because some ascomycetes produce cup-shaped fruiting bodies called apothecia or perithecia that hold the asci.
An apothecium is an ascigerous fructification (containing asci) of lichens, forming masses of various shapes.
