Petri Question
    #22321326 - 10/01/15 09:32 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Is there a better alternative to parafilm, or is this information still legit? I want to get some petris very soon.

It doesn't go over the vents, right? Should I put micropore tape over the vents? Do I need both? :shrug:

You need vented. Just wrap with saran.

Ummm no. Not only is that a ripoff, there is no guarantee how well those were prepared or if the agar was even properly sterilized. Do things yourself and be confident they were done right.

They seem to have pretty decent reviews, but okay, you're more than likely right. I need to get a ton of supplies still then :facepalm3:

Well, if it weren't sterile it would probably be culturing something by now, but it looks like LB media which is going to be preferential to bacteria anyway. I agree -- you're much better doing this yourself and using media that is specific to fungi, esp. basidiomycetes / dung lovers.

OP, if you are asking about parafilm, it is what they use in biological laboratories but we always threw the petris back in their sleeve and stored it in the walk-in fridge. I don't remember ever using that to culture them. Not sure if it is oxygen/co2 that is the reason; the dishes are often left upside-down and shut anyway, but I figured I'd mention it, for what it is worth.

(if I had to guess I'd say doesn't matter when culturing, but wrap it up to store)

It's likely because of co2 being heavier, it just falls out of the petri as after the mold/fungi produces it, thanks for the response. Good tip. :cheers:

Why wouldn't it if it's heavier than oxygen? Too much free air exchange mixing the co2 and oxygen up?

It's all these damn air pressures and currents! The world isn't a vacuum. Co2 and o2 would split if it was a vacuum.. Void of all air and currents.

CO2 and O2 mix together. It's not an oil and water kind of deal.

So those mycelium bags people put in their cannabis grow rooms to replace co2 tanks don't actually need to be elevated? Damn pot-heads. :pipesmoke:

Just for the record, and I know it may sound stupid, but I don't cover the vents with the saran, only the sides of the petris, correct?

im not sure im entirerly sure thats accurate. do they mix well and stay mixed in a normal enviroment? yea of course.

but they DO have different masses. and BOTH are gasses influenced by fluid dynamics. i would imagine if all gasses were trapped inside an air-tight container, with an even temperature throughout, the would naturally seperate into layers of gasses. with the most dense at bottom and least at top. without temperature or physical interaction causing disturbances in a material so easily moved... just my opinion. :shrug:

Yeah, in a hypothetical world with hypothetical exacts they may or may not segregate themselves based on density and other variables. I haven't done enough research to tell you.

But in an SGFC, Petri or Mono the CO2 isn't simply on one level of the SGFC, it's mixed with the oxygen.

Not to mention heat currents being formed by the mycelium.

exactly my point. in a normal enviroment they mix up just fine. too many variables. but they CAN seperate

CO2 can fall real fast real hard. I dropped a CO2 tank on my toe once and lost the nail :lol:
