I was thumbing though an 'old' USA book on tissue culture and was suprised to find these ingredients listed as plant growth substances
- Bacto (? brand name?) malt extract (Concentration 50-5,000mg/l)
- Bacto Yeast extract (Concentration 50-5,000mg/l)
- Caesin hydrolysate (Concentration 50-5,000mg/l)
- Coconut milk/water (Concentration 100-150mg/l)
- Orange juice (Concentration 50-300mg/l)
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Also iI speculated before about agar as a
growing medium for wee beasties' as it is used in lab petrie dishes for growing "wee beasties" but now also tissue culture!
This book also suggests
- "Gelrite" derived from bacteria (Pseudomonas sp.)
- and various trade names of red algae (noble algae Simar Agar TC agar, etc
Does this stimulate any creative/speculative neurons in anyone's cranium?
Mine are just puzzled, but think there should be
something in this information. (?)
BTW
If you want to import a plant into Australia Tissue Culture is the way to go. Customs and Agriculture far less feral as Tissue Culture is sterile.
