*'''Splitting the culture''' | *'''Splitting the culture''' | ||
In preparation for an exhibition, Greiner splits his cultures every week in order to have a sufficient amount of algae for the duration of the show. For storage purposes in between events, he stops splitting them but continues the lighting cycles. This is a way of stopping the reproduction without arming them. | |||
*'''Glowing''' | |||
The ''Pyrocystis Fusiformis'' can glow at any moment... or almost. The organism will never glow while it is doing photosynthesis, but if you cut the light (even in the middle of the light cycle), they will need around one hour to adapt and then will be able to glow. This is a good tip for tests purposes. Just remember that they are like batteries, they need time to recharge. That means if you cut their photosynthesis in half, they will not emit as much light as if they complete their cycle. | |||
