During a 2 day lab participants learn how to collect agricultural plant samples (leaf, roots, etc.) and plate, grow, isolate and identify the microorganisms that grow inside the plants (Endophytes). The goal of the lab is to discover an entirely new organism and to take this DIY Bio research forward and to prototype its promise and limitations. | |||
