Cultivating Cyanobacteria
Since last thuesday we got some samples of different cyanobacteria in the lab. Which are Syctonema, Nodularia, Anabaea, Calothrix, Plantothrix and Synechococcus. I will now try to extract some colonies and cultivate them.
Nodularia
Nodularia is found in salt water and needs nitrogen. So I used a NHCI 0.9 % solution and liquid fertilizer for tanks.
Scytonema
It lives in fresh water so I used volvic and added the colonies.
Planctotrix
It also lives in fresh water so volvic again. <gallery> File:scytonema_20122018.jpg|200px|Scytonema 20.12.2018 File:nodularia_201218.jpg|200px|Nodularia 20.12.2018 File:Planktothrix_201218.jpg|200px|Planktothrix 20.12.2018
