Fully colonized grain Spawn to Liquid Culture
    #25389985 - 08/15/18 11:26 AM (5 years, 5 months ago)

So I went from a clone to lc, then used some of the lc to make grain spawn. Can I got from grain spawn and make a new lc? Pretty sure I can just break up the fully colonized grain spawn and fill it with water and then suck it back out and have a new LC right?

I mean if it's clean? There'd be the whole thing of having grain in the lc... You could inoculate a petri, make one transfer, and use that for an LI... Why not G2G?

:whathesaid:
G2g would be better, why add extra steps for the same result?

That's a way better response. Why add the extra step(and contam vector) at all unless you're gonna clean it up a bit first?

Im not going G2G because I use bags with injection ports and I use LC. I'm not doing agar because its a clone. I either use a clone or a isolate. Not both. Clone vs Isolate is basically the same thing just from different ends but lets stay on topic. The clone performs very well, I dont need to grow it out on agar. I also use LC because I can inoculate each 6 quart bag of rye grain with 20cc's of LC and its done in less than a week. My simple question was could I go from colonized grain to LC!?!?! LOL I didn't pull this idea out of my ass either. Somebody had posted about it a long time ago. Somebody knowledgeable in the mycology field. I guess i'll see if I can find it.

What you're referring to is called a grain liquid culture or GLC.

Search engine should help you from there.

What do you think the definitions for clones and isolates are? I think you're confused. You use agar for both of those things.

Clean culture on agar(whether it's ms, clone or isolate) is used to make lc. I think you're just gonna make a mess trying to make an LI like you described.

I pour soft, 60mm dishes, and use a full dish cut into sixteen wedges (3 line tic tac toe pattern) for each jar... these could be inoculated with a single grain, stretching your culture to thousands of dishes... and  as stated above,agar can be mixed with sterile water to make LI...

If you're confident that the grain is clean, drop a spoonful to sterile water,shake,and draw out the resulting fluid with your syringe... Grain Liquid Innoculant, or GLI

Do this get your self a blender change things up to get the blade attached to a pint jar PC water in that jar (don't add anything to it grains will already have to much nutrients) place some grains in the jar place blender on wal-la that's everything
Side note you can do G2G with bags apparently and that will be much faster then your LC
PS I have know idea if anyone can make out what I'm saying.

:okiapprove:

Personally I would't do what you're thinking (and a good argument for agar) because IMO there's something sketchy about grain floating around in nutrient-rich liquid for days. I'm sure it can be and has been done. If you've lost spawn to dirty LC before though you'll appreciate others' words of warning, that's all.

I think I get what you're trying to say about a clone not needing agar but I don't think that's the point people are making. The point is that agar is a good route to arrive at clean LC, not because you're after an isolate or trying to find better performing myc.

And what does LC and injection ports have to with G2G? You can still do it. Or you don't want to?

Again, had you not mentioned it, no one would've known I don't think lol... Just curious,but how does one decide what order "their" languages go in? Is it like, order learned?

This is correct, go for it. Used to be a pretty standard way of making LCs, guess it's lost popularity...

I would advise against the GLC. You just can't tell how clean the grain spawn is, even minute amounts of bacteria will expand in the LC.

Start LC from clean cultures on agar. You can end up with more LC than you know what to do with, so just do it right.

Or you cab inoculate a grain master from the culture, you can go 1 to 10, 10 to 100 if you needed. Its just as fast.


But OP, if you have clean LC to begin with why do you need to make a new one anyways?

So basically what I ended up doing was putting 60ml of sterilized LC into the jar, and then sucked up as much as I could back out and added back into the LC jar where it should grow to a new LC that i'm sure is clean. As soon as I get a flowhood i'll be doing g2g but until then. I feel like LC is just so easy though.
