Cultivating Cyanobacteria
Since last thuesday we got some samples of different cyanobacteria in the lab. Which are Syctonema, Nodularia, Anabaea, Calothrix, Plantothrix and Synechococcus. I will now try to extract some colonies and cultivate them.
1. Nodularia
Nodularia is found in salt water and needs nitrogen. So I used a NHCI 0.9 % solution and liquid fertilizer for tanks.
2. Scytonema
It lives in fresh water so I used volvic and added the colonies.
3. Planctotrix
It also lives in fresh water so volvic again.
4. Anabaena
Fresh water. Volvic.
5. Synechococcus
Fresh water. Volvic.
6. Calothrix
Fresh water. Volvic.
