Lab work request
    #19021439 - 10/23/13 07:45 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

So I was at work the other day and I found a roofing shingle with a rhizomorphic fungus colonizing it.  I am interested in isolating this fungus and  growing it out in jars for the purpose of finding out if it can be used to decompose petroleum products.

I don't own any lab equipment anymore and I was hoping someone would be willing to let me mail them a piece of the shingle, get it on agar, isolate it and get it on some grain or wood cultures. 

So yeah, I'm gonna go around innoculating things that should go away with this in the future hopefully, anyone interested in helping?

How do you plan on showing it can degrade petroleum products?

That's what I want to find out, if this fungus can degrade petroleum products, I need someone to make cultures for me.

Did you consider Cardboard, or egg carton? in a container they work much like agar

Wait what? Can you explain further? Do you mean instead of using agar, grow mycelium on cardboard or egg carton material?

What I did is pour boiling water onto an egg carton. once cooled place in an open ziplock bag and then inoculate with stem butts, tissue, spores etc...
