| '''15/12/2017---experiment 1: 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 under 20 degrees

| '''20/12/2017---experiment 2: 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
| |
| | |

| [[File:20.5.jpg|400px]]
| |
| | |
| 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 under 24-26 degrees

| '''21/12/2017---Update on experiment 2: bacteria'''
| |
| | |
| the samples look like contaminated by some bacteria in the middle
| |
| | |
| [[File:21.jpg|400px]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''23/12/2017---Update on experiment 2: failed'''
| |
| | |
| the samples are contaminated and slime molds didn't wake up
| |
| | |
| reasons could be the temperature was too warm for the slime molds, food was too little and it was not humid enough inside the mediums
| |

| '''02/01/2018---experiment 3: grow new samples(from sinan) under suitable temperature'''
| |
| | |
| repeat the experiment with 4 more samples:
| |
| | |
| all in same condition: medium(Compound agar, water...)+3 pieces of cereal
| |
| | |
| A-sealed and kept on a shelf, 20 degrees;
| |
| | |
| B-not sealed and in a locker, 22 degrees;
| |
| | |
| C-sealed and kept in a locker, 22 degrees;
| |
| | |
| D-not sealed and kept on a shelf, 20 degrees.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''08/01/2018---Update on experiment 3: possibly slime molds once woke up but died afterwards'''
| |
| | |
| all the samples are contaminated to some extend, but sample B shows similar trace of growing slime molds according to the shape
| |
| | |
| I will try this sample again and another ones with new humid filter papers and wood chips(which i searched online are good mediums for slime molds)
| |
| | |
| got the sections of the human brain model, 10 layers in total
