Will I run into Senescence?

I inoculated 1 quart WBS jars with MS syringe. I expanded that jar into 10 jars. Then with those 10 jars I made 2 mono tubs. Then I cloned a fruit from one of those mono tubs and after a few agar transfers, I have an isolate.
If I took an agar wedge of this isolate and inoculated a WBS jar, and then expanded that into 10 jars, and maybe even expand some of those again, am I going to see issues with senescence? also, if I took a spore print from this project would that "reset" the senescence issue? Thanks

If you took a spore print it will no longer be an isolate, you have yo grow from a live culture to keep that going.
As long as you inoculate your master jar with a piece grown out from your isolate culture you shouldn't have any problems unless you G2G out too many times but I think 2 generations out is ok yea?
Store your isolate in a slant tube and when you want to make grain masters inoculate a new plate with a tiny piece. If you make a new slant every couple of years you can keep your culture alive for ages.
Senescence.. if I understand the term correctly is more likely to happen if you G2G out too many generations. Ive never gone past 2 I have always just started a new master jar and gone from there. If you store your cultures correctly it should be easy enough to avoid.
Nice dude! So you isolated a single sector from your clone yea?

Haha
A clone is still made up of a few strains, an isolate is a single strain (mono culture). If you take a clone and clean it up with a few transfers, it is usually still a clone.
If you cut away the sectors and grow them out, each one of those would be an isolate. Im still learning how to do this and identify once I have one
Clones rule man Im on a clone hunt myself this week!
