Why Slants: Wouldn't a Popsicle stick in a petri work?
    #21995623 - 07/25/15 03:01 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I'm wondering why a slant is advantageous. Are they going for a long skinny stretch of mycelium? Because it seems like a petri has a larger surface area. I could see it being advantageous for the mycelium to have a long skinny substrate so that it takes a long time to eat but doesn't cause a lot of cell division. (senescence, whatever)

Maybe wood in a petri would at least be worth an experiment. :shrug: Thoughts?

(side note, RR logged in for the first time in over 5 months today, hope he's doing well)

slants don't dry out nearly as fast due to the surface area aspect

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

perhaps a deep petri. I'm using tiny jars so I can probly go deeper than a traditional petri.

A deep petri with a wet water/agar ration perhaps.

well a deep dish will last longer, probably not as long as a slant but i'm sure somebody has a better answer then i:thumbup:

i'd think grain jars would be an ideal way to store cultures

Hey cron, sup?

You don't use as much agar for slants and deep agar petri dishes will never be deep enough for long term storage, they will end up drying out. Slants can last 10 years or more.

I've never heard of slants lasting 10 years.  Like 1-2 years is what I usually hear.

I did heard of slants lasting 10 years. I heard from eatualive reviving a 10 years old culture and he doesn't even used slants at that time.

why wouldn't a slant dry? Because its sealed better than a petri? So are my petri jars.

Surface area.  if 10ml of agar has 2 square inches of surface area, that's going to take significantly longer to dry out than 10ml of agar with 5 or 6 square inches of surface area.

"(Note that a square centimeter of mycelium is generally transferred from one culture dish to the next.) I have strains in my possession, from which I regularly regenerate cultures, that are 10 years old, and keep at a P2 or P3" Paul stamets.

That's were i heard of that.  By regenerating cultures of course... But even then... i think is possible to revive a 10 year old culture slant.

slants last 10 years stored at -40C

petri dishes unlike slants also have edges the mycelium grows to and can pick up contamination. a tube has the mycelium crawl up the glass a bit but it's not nearly as much of a concern for LTS

-40C? Or -40F? -40ºC is a lot.

yes -40c is a lot but yeast libraries use that cold
