Lab work

The plant pathology section at HICAST does not have a huge amount of resources. I have documented the media (agar) recipes used to isolate plant diseases at the Plant Diagnostic Clinic in Canada. Unfortunately, most of the antibiotics required are not available here including V8 juice (it is an ingredient for nutrient purposes in one of the recipes). So, we made media using what we had, which meant chopping vegetables to make our own V8 juice.

Also, when in Rome… having tea in the lab is normal. The windows are also open, which although lets a nice breeze in, may not be the best thing for keeping things sterile.
