Contamination Question
    #7632286 - 11/13/07 07:26 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hey, first time grower here. I inoculated twelve jars at the start, I did different ones on a few different days, and I think my sterilization process might have not been up to par every time i did it. I just used a regular pot, filled it up to halfway of the jars (four of them) put the lid on and set it to low, and once it started boiling i let it go for an hour and ten minutes. Problem is, I think some water may have spilled onto the tops of the jars (they were covered in tinfoil, but i think some water may have made it in anyhow). About half of the jars are looking like they're off to a good start (it's been a week) I can see some signs of germination underneath the holes. However, on the other 6 there's condensation on the sides (right beneath the holes) and the rice has gained a greenish color in the area (and it's spreading). however, in between the points of condensation, there appears to be mycelium (or perhaps mold?) growing extremely rapidly, like it's been a week, and the area covered is from top to bottom on a wide-mouth half pint jar, about an inch wide. I'm curious to check out the growth progress of whatever this is, as well as to see what guys think.

Thanks!

Biocontrol agent

Several strains of Trichoderma have been developed as biocontrol agents against fungal diseases of plants.[2] The various mechanisms include antibiosis, parasitism, inducing host-plant resistance, and competition. Most biocontrol agents are from the species T. harzianum and T. hamatum. The biocontrol agent generally grows in its natural habitat on the root surface, and so affects root disease in particular, but can also be effective against foliar diseases.

I am having the same problem green mold everywere I turn and all measures have been taken aginst it. I think that this may expalin a few things especially since our department of agriculture loves to build toys such as this one and since it has been released into the environment its causing alot of problems....:projectile:
