====Materials==== | |||
*Petri dish (glass or plastic, need not be sterile) or other suitable container. | |||
*Paper towels (white is best, brown will work). | |||
*Old Fashioned Oatmeal Flakes (not the instant). | |||
*Tap water. | |||
*A plasmodium or sclerotium-available from biological supply houses. | |||
*Medium: '''05.01.2019''' | |||
**100 ml of distilled water | |||
**2g of agar | |||
**oat flakes | |||
====Methods:==== | |||
Cover container bottom with piece of paper towel. | |||
*Place piece of living plasmodium or sclerotium on paper towel. | |||
*Moisten paper towel with tap water and drain off excess water. | |||
*Add one oat flake near slime mold. | |||
*Place lid over dish and place in a dark place at room temperature (e.g. place in a drawer or closet). | |||
*Next day examine culture and sprinkle with water to give Physarum a gentle rinse and pour off excess water (rinsing improves growth). *Add 1-3 additional oat flakes near advancing front of plasmodium. | |||
*Continue to examine, rinse, and feed daily or every few days. | |||
''Additional cultures are easily made by transferring a plasmodial covered oat flake to another container. Producing several cultures is desirable to ensure that you don't loose an only culture due to a unforeseen failure of a plasmodium. Also, having more than one culture allows you to test the effects of different treatments on the slime mold (e.g. exposure to light, cold, different food sources, etc.).'' | |||
