Hoping you mean above the closed plate

The foil isnt clean tho. Only sterile tools and genetic material should be over sterile media. Unless you are using a ffu

Making a Jar of LC, I know its a less positively looked on tek but I’m doing 500 ML water 50 Ml corn syrup and 1 gram of peptone with injection port lids, would 2 ccs be enough from my starter culture or should i do 5? possibly even 10?!

Edit: I’m also planning to use the rest on my WBF jars, I have 4 quarts sterilized but only one syringe so I would rather make culture first. Can I keep sterilized jars stored for a bit so my culture develops? Or would I have to sterilize new grain

I'm in front of a flow hood, but ignoring that, what's the right way to get spores from foil to agar? I was under the impression that scraping the print lightly above the plate was an acceptable way?

Scrape the spores from the foil, away from agar, then transfer from loop to agar. Should be pleeeenty of spores.

:whathesaid: i like to keep the print on a jar to the left of my work (the side opposite my tool hand). Open print, sterilize loop, cool loop, pick up spores and move my tool to the right of my plate, open plate with left hand, deposit spores, done.

How, precisely? Keep in mind the goal here is to avoid streaking the plate.

I was told the opposite. I was told when germinating spores to streak the plate.

I do the same but I don’t hate loops or scalpels. I do dislike long walks on the beach.

Well, it's not so much a hate thing as a disagreement thing lol. Not fond of the bendy part. Like trying to noc with a doorstop.

It's hard to "keep state" when a thread has this many unrelated posts/day, but this particular "sub-thread" goes back to https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/29335106#29335106 wherein beef suggests that streaking just spreads contam around the plate and is unnecessary, and that he was going to remove streaking from the HHG. I'm testing to see if that approach reduces the contams on these plates.
