<br>
might be worth to get into contact with mirri-people for dry
storage of cultures; one of their partners might be "close" to you<br>

They might have more or different expertise ...<br>

live fresh water algal collections (when they still existed;
to my knowledge they don’t have them anymore, at least the
field station where the collection was kept does not exist
anymore). They used to store algae in either in liquid in
culture vessels, or on agar plates in petri dishes. Either
way, both the vessel openings and the edges of the petri
dishes were taped up with Parafilm which is breathable
enough to allow for gas exchange but should keep unwanted
spores out. I can’t see why the same technique shouldn’t
work well for mould cultures so I would give it a go.

plastic petri dishes containing mold cultures for long term
collections storage for our botany department’s herbarium?
Ideally, the method we are looking for would be secure but
reversible, in case we need to directly access the samples
in future. Some ideas we have considered include using
strips of Parafilm or white plumbers’ “tape” around the
edges of the petri dishes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
