'''15/12/2017---experiment one: start with waking up the slime molds'''
 
To have better samples to build the art installation, try to wake up old slime molds samples by growing them in the medium.
 
four samples:
 
A-normal medium(pure agar, salt, yeast, water..)+8-10 pieces of cereals
 
B-normal medium
 
C&D-normal medium+wet and old filter paper
 
samples are kept in dark lockers in 20 degrees
 
 
'''20/12/2017---experiment two: waking up new slime molds samples from Sinan'''
 
samples from the last experiment failed.
 
Sample A was seriously contaminated. Nothing happened in sample B, C, &D
 
reason could be too much cereals or others
 
repeat the experiment with 3 more samples:
 
all in same condition: medium(Compound agar, water...)+1 piece of cereal
 
samples are kept in dark lockers in 24-26 degrees
