Add Anti-Bacterial Soap to a Syringe? (A drop of Lysol seems to work well)
#26548586 - 03/21/20 10:32 AM (3 years, 10 months ago) |

If I added a small amount of anti-bacterial soap to a syringe, would it "clean" the spores inside the syringe? Or will it kill the spores too?

One way to find out! Iād imagine if it kills microbes, it kills spores too, but ya never know til ya know, LC

I would maybe make a soapy water mixture then go 10% soap water 90% distilled.

Soap itself is more antibacterial than the antibacterial chemicals they add to soap. Soap rips apart cell membranes. Spores may last but it may be time dependent

I see. So it would have been added right before using the spores as the spores have a short life span in a soapy, antibacterial solution?

Quick, some one get the microscope and do a soap water slide with spores.
People add rinse aid to syringes all the time to prevent clumping. It could work I think.

I have old prints that are not viable I can send you if you get a micro... They won't germinate for shit but you can use them like med students use cadavers.

Vendors used to add a dash of jet dry to spore syringe solution so they could get more syringes per print. Theory was it Helps break up the clumping of spores.

Jet dry? I see.
So today Im attempting an experiment. While in the SAB, I made a spore syringe using a half pint jar (good but a quarter-pint would be better). First shot in the clean water from a syringe then added about a 1/3rds worth from the inner circle of a medium sized spore print. I then swirled the mixture well. Then i sprayed half a second of Lysol Anti-Bacterial spray into the half pint jar with the spore solution. I swirled the mixture again real well, then added a little more spores from that inner spore print circle cause the water looked too clear for my liking.
Lastly, i shot up 5 PF jars using the Lysol spray to clean the needle. The only mess up I may have done is that i might have got two spore syringes mixed up (one syringe i used for scrapping spores off the spore print), but since this is a test of the effectiveness of Lysol, its likely not a big deal. Time will tell.
Wish me luck.

Please, be my guest! I would hope that making a spore solution with a small amount of anti-bacterial soap would help clean the spores of a "dirty" spore print, leading to easier agar work.

Let us know. I just assume adding anything would probably increase the chances of contamination especially if it is something that doesn't come sterile because there are always organisms that can tolerate stuff like that.

Kizzle... Sweet signature picture.
I'm thinking two syringes. Both with distilled water, one with 10% soap solution.
1 spore print in a shot glass. Distilled water syringe goes first as a control, soap water gets sloppy seconds.
Both to agar...and wait.

Sounds like a good plan.

OH good! A mad scientist consortium. 
I've wanted to try something like this for years with a polysorbate product called Tween. It's fairly common in plant tissue culture.. another hobby 
Going under a stay home order after tomorrow so I guess I'll have time to play. I'll be using Tween 20 and keep you posted.
Here's an interesting article regarding fungal spores and surfactants..
https://publications.waset.org/4655/pdf
Thanks for the inspiration LC  Maybe this time I'll actually do it

You fellas may want to take a peek at Yucca extracts as another option as well? It's a saponin-based non-ionic surfactant that may perform similar functions.
I am experimenting with it as a spawn and sub additive to enhance water absorption-- but it may work for you too. I found an organic certed one on Amazon called Safergrow Natural Wet-- it was like $19.

Update: 5 days later.
Zero growth in all 5 jars. It seems that Lysol spray, even in small amounts is a very effective sterilizer. Learning so much from this experiment.
Pros: Very effective sterilizer.
Cons: Sterilizes cubenis spores too.
Next experiment definitely using some anti-bacterial dish soap. Its gotta work. Maybe even get a natural-based one, so its more gentle on the shroom spores.

Not typically, but I usually see some kind of activity. Definitely waiting another week before I call it sterilized.
Looks like there is some great natural soap choices out there....I hope theres some actually left in stores

The anti-bac properties are mostly their on the soap to prevent bacteria from growing on the soap is what my old doctor used to tell me. Then again he was a whacky dude.

Still no growth in my Lysol-spray jars.
I found a bottle of natural clear soap at the store. It doesnt say anti-bacteria but it *should* be gentle enough to use on spores. Will be testing it out this weekend.

 Someone spray some agar plates next. . If it turns out we've been wasting our time with PC'S and flow hoods then maybe this time I have seen it all  Pretty bad ass. I'm really not that surprised though. Cubensis are tough and aggressive like oysters. Oysters can process all kinds of wicked chemicals.. so why not? Mushrooms are cool.  I am curious about the longevity of the spores in the solution. Really need to fix that time machine lol. Guess it wouldn't be critical if this repeats easily. Ooooh rabbit holes! I really want to spray an agar plate now

Funny u say that, i was going to take some pics this weekend. They are doing excellent! They are almost ready for birthing. Im really surprised this worked. Its kinda scary how well it worked considering i did open-air printing in a room that is dusty and has air-leaks to the outside.
Im curious to see what kind of fruits come out of it. Perhaps some artifical selection has occurred due to the presence of the Lysol....
Im excited to try anti-bacterial soap next. I think it will work but cant be sure.

Yeah.. thatās super cool it worked (knock on wood). You think there was just so many cube spores that they survived due to shear numbers compared to the probably small amount of contamination?

I believe so. I used extra spores because it was my belief that most would not survive the harshness of the Lysol. And in doing so, maybe there was some "survival of the fittest" action going on.
Wish i had a microscope so i can see whats rrally happening. Might have to pop into the Microscopy subforum for help.

All white jars. Some are even pinning. No infections. Only needed a small amount of Lysol in the syringe. Didnt think it would be this easy....

Does the Lysol say kill 99.99 percent of germs? Looks like the .01% was cubie spores lol. Pretty rad

Yup, it says "99.9% of germs" on the back! Cube spores are special. That's what I learned.

No doubt. Im hestitiant to even eat the shrooms honestly. Maybe they are too clinical. Back the day, dealer shrooms felt "clinical", no love them, like a clinical drug. It was weird.

FWIW, Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down relatively quickly into water and oxygen, so could conceptually be a good flash-sterilizer in that respect-- and if I'm not mistaken, bleach breaks down into water and salt pretty quickly- especially up around 80 degrees.
I know I've seen people talk about them not being the best solution before elsewhere though-- but I don't remember why

I'm impressed that this worked at all. I didn't expect it to. When I first saw the thread title, honestly my initial reaction was "lol noobs that will never work" but then I saw it was posted by LC, and I was like "woah, LC posted this? Well, I guess I'll check it out."
And low and behold, those are some healthy looking jars! I guess I was the uninformed noob this time. Super impressed.
I'm surprised Alan hasn't shown up with some spores under microscope to show what the effect of antibacterial soap on spores is. Maybe someone can get him in this thread later on for some science. I have some doubts about hydrogen peroxide given its effects on mycelium, but it seems like some good old fashioned antibacterial soap might have some use!
Cube spores are amazingly sturdy and resilient.

I didn't think it would work either. I know I was spore-printing dirty. The reason I know was because I had so many shrooms growing last year that I got lazy with printing and just started mass-printing open-air which is the worst way to do it. So I had like 30 spore prints but they were all dirty. Pretty dumb in retrospect...
I should PM Alan. I bet he might pick this up....
I heard mushroom spores can survive in space! Not sure if its true, but if it is, could explain this Lysol situation.

But if it doesn't kill the cube spores, what is it doing to all the contaminant spores like green mold? Maybe it kills a huge fraction of everything, and then the mold spores are outnumbered by the cube spores?

Im not really sure whats going at the microscopic level so right now its a bit of a mystery 
All I know is the mold spores that were on that spore print did not germinate while the cubenis spores did germinate.

Mold spores and bacteria are quite a bit smaller. Suffracants typically soften cell walls in a lot of applications. Cubie spores appear tough and large enough to take it to an extent. Can't get Lysol to save my life right now but a discussion about straw contamination led to Dawn dish soap. Any kidney killing chemical that saves not only ducks, but straw logs has gotta be worth a shot.

Yeah, it doesn't say anything about killing anything but children.  Does great with straw for clean up and spawning to. Germination is a question. Of course it was questionable with Lysol too.

I PM'd Alan R and he said I wont be able to see anything under a microscope and the best plan of action would be to use agar with different Lysol concentrations. Not quite the answer i wanted but the agar suggestion was a good one. Looks like I need to get a microscope for my own research...

I think I remember rr saying he hydrated his straw oyster logs with soap water and didnāt rinse it before fruiting. Believe he said something about the chemicals not accumulating in the mushroom.

The only ones Iād be cautious of are hyperaccumulators like shaggy inc cap. Wikipedia also lists Pleurotus as a hyperaccumulator in their page on mycoremediation, so thatās somewhat concerning lol.

Yeah, dish soap helps beak down the Epicuticular Wax in the straw. It also helps reduce contamination but is not the perfect cure. It might be for molds, but not bacteria. Inspired by this thread and after discovering that Lysol is now a mythical beast, I decided to add a couple of drops of Dawn Platinum to a grain jar soak water. There were 3 more without soap as a control. Within a few hours the bacteria began to go to work fermenting and carbonating all the jars. Mold tests are next.

What about aquarium antibiotics in a spore syringe? Kind of like antibacterial agar.
Has anyone ever tried an antibiotic dunk to get rid of a bacteria on a substrate? I have aquariums and antibiotics on hand, so next time I see bacteria I think I'll give it a go. I wonder if the antibiotics would accumulate in the fruits though.

So my most recent grow, i tried the "organic" version by using Organic "Fit" fruit and veggie wash. Well, it didnt worst. Trich mold wss still present. Looks like Lysol still has no organic alternative yet.
Probably gonna have to use the Lysol again for a mold-free grow....

coloidal silver?
most oils and the like that have bacteriacide properties also antifungal but i am sure the right one in right % could be helpful.
