* Day 1: The extraction of ''Alii Vibrio Fischeri'' from a living natural environment ''(took from an octopus)''. | * Day 1: The extraction of ''Alii Vibrio Fischeri'' from a living natural environment ''(took from an octopus)''. The process consists in taking a sample from the living specimen where the shining in the dark can be seen and then taking a piece of the meet where this specimen lives and putting them all inside of the medium. The sample has to be in a place with 20°C of temperature and in darkness. | ||

* Day 4: I failed to extract the ''Alii Vibrio Fischeri'' into the medium, after three days there was no blue glowing as seen in the first day inside the medium that I made. My hypothesis is that the specimen wasn't in the same original conditions from where it comes from, and it couldn´t survive. | |||
CONCLUSIONS: Because I failed in the extraction of the Aliivibrio Fischeri, I will start with the cultivation of ''Polycephalum/physarum'' in order to confirm if this specimen can be cultivated in salty environments, and more specifically if it can survive in a 3% concentration of NaCl medium. According to the previous investigations of Dussutour, it is possible for it to survive in salinity environments, so I will explore this idea. | |||

After 5 days the samples of ''Polycephalum/physarum'' | After 5 days the samples of ''Polycephalum/physarum'' didn't came to live again, my first hypothesis is that the medium was to salty my second is that the specimen needs more time in order to come to live again (awake from hibernation state). | ||
