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.


52h salinity medium

The initial experiment of teaching Physarum Polycephalum to live in salinity mediums was made in the class GMU:Experimental Microbiology, the experiment and results can be seen in the following link: [1]

All experiments made in the class "Experimental Microbiology" can be seen at: [2]


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, the following link shows the diary of work for each experiment that was made. 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.

>> Second approximation to the organism

This link contains the knowledge, results and the experiments made in order to create an ideal medium for faster growth 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.

FURTHER EXPERIMENTS

During this class, a lot of experiments were made in order to understand the lab rules, learn different techniques of how to grow different kinds of specimens, observation under the microscope, between other experiments that are shown in the links below.
