17 March 2010

Day 76:
Yes, more microscopy time... it seems to be never ending these days! So again, this is a piece of seagrass from which I am trying to culture Labyrinthula zosterae, aka 'wasting disease'. Rather unfortunately what is growing on this particular cutting of seagrass is NOT L. zosterae. Instead, it is the same fungus with a mould thrown in for good measure (the slight greenish material) that appeared on my previous two attempts at culturing despite adding an anit-fungal agent. Crap, crap, crap....
