What does salt do to spores???

naughty monkey...

if you freeze spores THEY BECOME INVIABLE. Water, glycerin, WHATEVER...

*tsk tsk*

what is this board, a disinformation site with govt agents buddying up to folx just to arrest them for not wanting to lick jesus christs ass?

"Gigantor", I get really tired of people spouting off on subjects they are totally ignorant of. Please refrain from raising your hand unless you think you might know the answer to the question, you'll look a little smarter that way.

My post above is not speculation. It is not entirely original to me. There is absolutely no doubt that it works as posted.

But you will get busted if you attempt to buy glycerin now.

In truth you can bring mammalian cells down to -150 degrees celsius (liquid nitrogen) in glycerol solutions, store them for over ten years and then thaw them and they will still be viable. I'm talking about mammalian cells which are not nearly as resistant to environmental fluctuations as spores are.

The secret is in the glycerol (obviously). It allows you to bring the temperature bellow freezing without having to worry about ice crystals rupturing or destroying the spores.

Why is it that we kill people who kill people to show people that killing people is wrong?

example: ranchers give there cattle a salt lick (or a big block of salt the cows can lick) in order to prevent harmful fungus from growing in there stomachs but unfortunately it also prevents shrooms from growing on their shit

what we need is somthing non nutritional, in a powder form, can be disalved in cold or room temp water, and is not harmful to the spores oh and has to be able to withstand 300-400 degrees (oven sterilezation)

sorry , brain fart. the only way this is going to work is if the cap is suspended in the jar so why not just use water in the bottom of the jar

its amazing how we can complicate something so simple
