Contamination on agar
    #15090215 - 09/17/11 12:53 AM (12 years, 6 months ago)

So I forgot about this petri dishes with agar in my wardrobe. I had placed them next to some jars incubating and when I went to check them I saw they were pretty badly contaminated.

They are in a closed plastic petri dish and have been there like for 2 weeks. I can see some black mold I guess and I think that is very harmful. Maybe some other potentially deadly things.

Do you think spores could have escaped the petri dish and contaminated the other jars together with the room. Was safe to breath in that room or to grab them to toss away?

Could I get sick?

you'd better toss them.

most likely you won't die unless you're immunocompromised since 99% of molds are relatively harmless.

if you breath a ton of aspergillus niger spores then you'll likely get sick, but by disposing these jars and sanitizing what they were into you're pretty safe and won't get exposed to dangerous amounts, don't worry.
