Loss of spore(syringe) viability from excessive heat??? Cannot achieve colonization of any sort...
    #11016406 - 09/07/09 06:49 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I recently purchased some 6 strains PC spore syringes from a provider  (Hawk) who happens to be a sponsor of this site.  I must say that Mr. Hawk has been more than accommodating and very helpful throughout this crisis and I am very appreciative of that. 

Here's the deal:

I am new to this hobby, and I thought I had some semblance of a brain in my head - so following the most basic PF Tek procedures didn't seem that intimidating.  But I am stumped.  I have put together LOTS of BRF cake jars, inoculated them in the cleanest of environments, carefully placed them in a dark area (75-80 deg) to incubate, and I have seen 0% colonization.  I even dabbled with WBS, followed accepted procedures and still....NOTHING.  I can't even grow any contaminants!!! Needless to say I am a little bummed, especially because Umphrey's is coming to town a in few days and I was planning a big night with the wife and friends. 

I live in Phoenix, which is the hottest place on earth.  I am wondering if the spores could have been rendered useless by sitting in some bin at the post office for hours at a time? 

I have made sure that my incubation temps are right on and I took special care to not pack the cakes in the jar too tight.  Is there any reason that any of you can come up with as to why I cannot seem to get any response from these spores?

I have used up 10 syringes with the same negative results every time.

Thanks so much for any insight!

heat can kill spores, but how long has it been?

How many days now has it been since you knocked up the jars?
