PROJECT IDEA 1

The idea is to compare how the specimen Physarum Polycephalum grows in normal conditions, and how trained specimens behave when they have the possibility to change of salinity environment.

A neutral medium was created, and a photo sequence video was created to see how the specimen grows in normal conditions, and another medium was created with stripes of different salinity mediums from 0% to .5% to see how the trained specimens behave. The following two videos show both experiments.

RELATED EXPERIMENTS

First approximation to the organism

Three different kinds of samples were made the same day, with the same conditions and the same medium, but they develop in different ways, as it can be seen in the links of each experiment below. From this three experiments, I learned how to cultivate physarum/polycephalum how it grows, the type of conditions that it needs (medium) to grow up and the temperature that it also needs to grow.

/Farming 1 Farming from a living sample

/Farming 2 Farming from a sleeping sample

/Farming 3 Farming from a combined sample


Medium experimentation base in the previous investigation of Caicedo

Project idea 2

The first approximation is to recreated and find a method in order to cultivate a microorganism with a coral shape.

The project idea is to experiment with the kombucha isolation method made before, in order to duplicate the results obtained with the coral shaped organism so I can replicate and create a method to extract/isolate this specific organism.
