Pink Contam?
    #14103514 - 03/11/11 11:22 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

A few jars developed these red/pink spots at the injection sites.  It was much brighter a couple of days ago, and seems to be fading.  Is this some sort of contamination?



I would post pictures of the other ones, but they have faded to the point where you can't really see it anymore.

I am a definite noob, so any advice would be appreciated.

Looks early.  give it another week and see where it goes.

Edit:

In the mean time, check the parameters (temperature) for the species and strain you're growing and try to get as close to them as possible during the next week.  Don't forget to account for the fact that inside the jar is warmer than outside the jar by a few degrees.

Thanks, I will give it a few days before chucking it.

It gets pretty cold here, and my wife refuses to turn the heat above 64 or so when we are gone.  I built an incubator out of an old cooler and a fish tank heater, but I wasn't sure if it is OK to put the suspect jars in with the general population or not.

The room they are in varies between 62 and 70, and the incubator varies from 72 to 75.  Is it safe to put this jar in with the others?
