To keep the slime mold from escaping it has to be fed regularly. How often and in what way it has to be fed depends on the purpose of the culture. It is possible to do this under the flow hood in an attempt to keep things sterile, however it is also possible to do it on the usual work space (disinfect first and still keep hands and tweezers clean) | |||
# <u>Growing a big, strong culture that can be used for repetition of "Step 3"</u>In the beginning feed Physarum every two days by using the tweezers to drop a couple of oat flakes into the petri dish until the dish is completely covered with Plasmodium. | |||
