Bleach
    #14300134 - 04/16/11 09:20 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I forgot about an empty agar dish and found a massive orgy of the mean green growing like crazy... My paranoid self brought it outside and poured a little bleach on it. Within 5 mins it was brown.

I remember reading somewhere that bleach doesn't actually kill live mold but is a good preventative measure for dry tissue samples (1/10 solution or something)

I guess I'm just wondering what happened to the trich? If I poured off the used bleach would it of kept growing? It looked dead as can be...anyone tried bleach to kill trich successfully?

"The bleach is used as a preventative, to kill contaminant spores, not to kill established contaminants." RR

Bleach can be mixed with water at 1:10 as a disinfectant.  Don't use sodium hypochlorite right out of the bottle.  A petri dish covered with molds would have been better tossed into the trash unopened.

Yeah it was more of a "what would happen if" moment for me...

But could you use a bleach solution to kill trich? I've seen salt used to extend the life of a cake or tray.

No.  Salt shouldn't be used either unless the fruits are within a day or two of picking. In our farm, we don't salt anything.  If it has even the smallest spot of green, out it goes.  We get more product in the long run that way.
