For every attempt of cloning at least seven petri-dishes filled with PDA- medium are inoculated. The scalpel is sterilized in a hot flame till it glows red. It then is cooled in the receiving petri dish. The mushroom is ripped apart in the middle. Tissue then is taken from just above the gills, inside the stem or just under the cap. It is inserted in the hole that the hot scalpel made. The dishes are labeled and incubated | For every attempt of cloning at least seven petri-dishes filled with PDA- medium are inoculated. The scalpel is sterilized in a hot flame till it glows red. It then is cooled in the receiving petri dish. The mushroom is ripped apart in the middle. Tissue then is taken from just above the gills, inside the stem or just under the cap. It is inserted in the hole that the hot scalpel made. The dishes are labeled and incubated in the incubator (23°-25° C). The mycelium that emerges is purified by running it through subsequent petri dishes till there is no visible evidence of contaminants. Then it is stored in test-tubes filled with PDA- medium at temperatures below 5°C. Two tubes per strain, enveloped in a zip-loc-bag. ( liquid suspended-animation technique will be introduced.) | ||
