Hi all,
another quiet day in the lab but very interesting. First started by collecting water from the Brayford, then Sharon spread plated, MEA, Mannitol salt, Baird parker, MLSA and nutrient agar plates. Sharons project was to count colony numbers, now that is complete, we were curious as to the type of colonies. Next i innoculated a couple of MEA slopes with the three confirmed funghi on my work bench and made a couple of MEA broths using the two funghi i have as yet not been able to culture. Saccharomyces spp and Mucor you will not defeat me!!! Nicola had a meeting which clashed with the timing of her cells being ready for competency, so she talked me through the process. Really loved it, want to learn more about anti microbial resistance.

Hi all,
quiet day in the lab today. Made up 10X10ml universal bottles of MEA agar, as slopes so that tomorrow i can innoculate them with the confirmed funghi i have, Aspergillus paraciticus, Penicilin notartum and Aspergillus niger. Also made up 50ml of MEA broth so that i can hopefully encourage my remaining funghi to grow. Now to research Listeria

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.
