Quiet day in the lab today!
A few of the yeast cultures i had did not grow after their first innoculation onto MEA plates. I have re-streaked Mucor, Aspergillus niger and Saccromyces spp onto fresh MEA plates and incubated them at 30C. Penicillin notatum and Aspergillus parasitucus successfully grew and i have re-streaked them onto fresh MEA plates and incubated them for two days at 30C, from this i hope to gain a pure strain of the target funghi. Confirmed Chromobacteruim CV026 and have made a broth culture so that i can make up long term storage stabs and slopes. Also made up a batch of TAE with Rosie and Fran. Now to research exactly what it is and does.
