Agar Plates antibacterial (MEAG) Pre poured 90mm Petri Dish

  

Pre-poured petri dishes malt extract agar (mea) with anti bacterial compounds for mushroom growing. 10x 90mm petri dish with mea with anti bacterial compounds comes sealed snugly. These plates are to be stored at room temperature. Do not store them in the fridge unless colonised. These dishes are made of clear polystyrene; it allows for clarity while being disposable and durable.

Easy to stock and grip and have an anti-slip ring that offers stability. It is the perfect set for beginners to grow spores and test cultures. Meag is made with antibacterial powder, so it will not grow bacteria.

It's the most common contamination in spores. Mea is without anti-bacterial agents, so it will grow anything you put in it, so it's best to check if your culture is contaminated or not.

It is useful if you want to store your culture, isolate your culture, test the reliability of culture from a vendor, or even test the liquid culture you have made yourself. Plate shelf life and storage. The optimal shelf life for plates is 30-45 days. Order plates as needed, as they cannot be stored indefinitely, even in their original packaging. While most plates can last for months, their ideal shelf life is 30 days.

Plates may remain usable beyond 30 days if uncontaminated. If contamination occurs in one plate, it doesn't affect others in the pack. Discard contaminated plates and use the rest as normal. Extended storage may cause plates to lose moisture, becoming stiff and papery. Use plates only if they remain gelatinous and uncontaminated.

Discard any that become stiff or papery, as they can no longer support organism growth. Store in a cool, dry place e.

Avoid refrigeration to prevent condensation. Place upside down to minimize condensation.

Please note condensation in the plate is normal and would arise from temperature differential. Refrigerate when at least 60% colonized. Label (date and species) and put in zip-lock bags for storage.

It is best to keep it in the vegetable compartment of the fridge. Remember: the packaging sleeve is not a sterile seal. Proper storage is crucial for maintaining plate quality. Meag is a gelatinous medium that is used to purify, germinate, isolate and manipulate mushroom mycelium, to reduce the chances of contamination drastically due to its antibacterial compound. These petri dishes are 100% ready to inoculate with spores or mushroom mycelium. Its key feature is anti bacterial compounds. In agar mycelium cultures, anti bacterial compounds has have been demonstrated to inhibit bacteria to a confinable level.

In several cases, spores are infected with bacteria attached to them, and they carry it to the agar media. This will germinate fast-growing bacterial spores that make it difficult for mushroom spores to germinate (as they are slower compared to bacterial spores). On the other hand, when infected spores are introduced to meag, the mushroom spores will germinate and grow, leaving behind bacterial contamination. That is because the cells composing the mycelium (hyphae) have long and sharp filaments, which carry reduced populations (if any) when they pass through the anti bacterial compounds as they grow. These plates will not prevent the growth of other contaminants that are not bacteria.

We recommend mea with anti bacterial compounds for. Germinating spores from a spore syringe or spore print has a likelihood of contamination. Isolating a specific strain of mushroom. Purify mycelium from other contaminated agar plates or liquid culture.

Malt extract contains a high concentration of maltose, which provides a suitable environment for the growth of fungi. That is due to its rich source of carbon, protein, and nitrogenous compounds used as energy for fungi growth.

Agar-agar is extracted from various seaweeds, such as gracilaria and gelidium it contains no animal ingredients. Due to the unique gel property and stability of agar, it is used as a firming and thickening agent for petri dish experimentation. This item is made of agar agar, malt extract, gentamcin and parafilm.
