''16/12/2020''
I was intended to examine through the microscope the compost sample collected in the bottom of my kitchen bin. It was a mixture of topsoil, onion and tangerine skin, shook it with some water drops and left for almost a week in the lab. Unfortunately, we are in a total lockdown from today, therefore I will not have access to the BioLab.

'''Slime mold'''
For what concerns my slime molds I created a new environment with water and agar in a new petri dish, attached to the original one, in order to let my slim mold move to the new environment, creating a bridge. I informed myself about how to cultivate a slime mold creating an ultimate environment for her, and one of the main rules consists in keep the environment clean in order to prevent mold.
In doing so I had to keep the petri dishes open, inside of the shoe box, but after some days I found out a little moldy dark spot growing in the agar. I removed it and give my slime molds to Sisu because tomorrow I will leave Weimar coming back home for Christmas Holidays.
