After the first two tries at culturing Labyrinthula zosterae (i.e. what causes wasting disease in Zostera marina) being a flop, I am seriously hoping that the 3rd time is a charm! Agar culture media had just been poured into the Petri dishes above using aseptic microbiology techniques and I was waiting for it to set before putting small cut pieces of seagrass onto it to attempt to grow the ever elusive marine protist. In 5-7 days I will know if the process was a success... keep your fingers crossed!
