Adding Penicilion / Antibiotics to prevent/treat bacteria?
    #5296600 - 02/13/06 07:37 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I've been wondering this. Could you put some antibiotics in your mixture before you PC them, and when the mycelium begins to grow, the antibiotic could help fight of contaminations. Or maybe even add it to a contaminated jar. Do you think this could possibly work, since mycelium is a network and absorbs nutrients?

Almost sounds possible to me, please fill me in.

Yes, but antibiotics should never be used as a substitute for proper sterile procedure. Antibiotics have a use when we must work from an outdoor or otherwise dirty print on agar. For grains and brf, simply sterilize before use and only use clean prints or syringes.

There would be no one, single antibiotic that would cover the spectrum of bacteria your substrate may encounter. There are bacteriostatic agents that will inhibit bacterial growth, but they do not KILL bacteria. They would be better suited for surfaces in your sterile room or inside grow chambers. Not sure how they would affect myc. I'll research it a little and post back later.
