Question about cultures
    #21396608 - 03/12/15 08:39 AM (9 years, 2 months ago)

What is the difference between an $18 liquid culture syringe say from Sporeworks and a $250 culture slant of the same species and varietal from say Aloha Medicinals. At a hobby scale I can't imagine there is much difference but if you were at a larger scale, is there an advantage to getting expensive master cultures to start with? Couldn't you just make your own master slants out of the LCS and save on $$$?

Thanks!

the slants are high quality from a sterile lab vs a shop.

lc come with oysters in them on occasion from shops.
probably wont happen from a lab.

the lab supplies universities who have bigger budgets and dont want to deal with the headache.

the shop supplies people with tiedye t shirts who would rather have the hassle of the occasional oyster than pay 200 bux.

yes you can make your own slants :smile: you can make HUGE jar sized slants if you have the fridge for it and they will cost you maybe $10 to do.

and assuming the right strain is in them. they will be just as good.

Awesome thanks! Basically what I figured - the expensive master slants are really just at that price because they come with a genetic and cleanliness guarantee and the cost to get those guarantees is negligible if you are doing research or commercial production.

$250 for a particularly badass proven varietal seems like a steal of a deal for commercial production though obviously out of the price range of your average tie-dye shirt wearing grower :rofl:

Just out of interest, do you know how common it is that a commercial producer may be growing their own varietal - like an oyster or ganoderma varietal that came from a wild specimen as opposed to a master culture from a lab?

i believe most of the people selling live cultures, buy slants from hawaii :smile:
i think i saw RR say this once.

i think the oyster issue is one of sterile technique while converting slants to lc, or maybe its just a labeling issue.

cant help their cost basis
