'' (This quote from this article, give me a hint, in order to experiment with salinity in the medium of the Polycephalum). Dussutour make an experiment placing oatmeal at the other side of a gelatine substance made with either caffeine or quinine in order to obligate the Polycephalum to cross, she learned that after the organism get used to a certain substance, they will cross to the food ''in this case in the same kind of medium that was located in the first time. (the Physarum have "memory" channels). She made also an experiment testing salinity environments, was the specimen adapted himself to this environment, (also she tested with her team if this information could be communicated to other samples that were not "trained" to this kind of environment).'' | ||

* Day 1: The extraction of ''Alii Vibrio Fischeri'' is made, and a sample of "Polysephalum/physarum'' in a clean environment is made. | * Day 1: The extraction of ''Alii Vibrio Fischeri'' is made, and a sample of "Polysephalum/physarum'' in a clean environment is made. | ||
* Day 4: I failed to extract the ''Alii Vibrio Fischeri'' into the medium, after three days there was no blue glowing as seen in the first day inside the medium that I made. | |||
The isolation of Polysephalum/physarum was correctly made, I will wait one week for it to grow in order to implant it in a salty medium simulating the natural environment of the Alii Vibrio Fischeri. |
