Questions about isolating mycelium from contams
    #7451236 - 09/25/07 10:27 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Hi,

Just starting out, this is a really cool hobby! There's so much info on this site!

I think I have a bad B+ syringe but since I'm new I wanted to do some agar tests to be sure before I asked for a replacement. I also figured its a good chance to try to isolate some healthy mycelium from mold.

Ive seen a few threads/teks about BRF paste & agar while reading up on isolating from contams. Ive read you shouldn't really try this with BRF paste. Why not? Why does agar work but not BRF paste? Aren't they both just substrates in a thin layer? I already bought some agar-agar from the Oriental market so I'll use that, but I was just curious.

Is this something thats too advanced for a beginner? Ive read you often need to transfer the healthy mycelium to new plates multiple times before the mold/contaminate is gone. Why? Once you've isolated it from the contam, maybe hitting it with some peroxide aren't you all set? I know I'm missing something here!

Thanks!
