incubating streptomyces lydicus

[roscoman]

im new to incubating fungi. i have the strain in what i think is some sort of clay powder. can anyone give me some steps to follow?

I am little bit confused of what you have mentioned. If you already have the fungi then how you have maintained it?

Anyway, normally for fungal growth and maintenance you need to grow the fungi at 26-28C temparature for incubation on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). While you carry out with some experiments with your fungi, you need to grow them on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA).

All the best!

roscoman: could the powder be the spores? Can you take picture of it?

i was going to try to cultivate the spores from a product called actinovate. anyway, thanks for the help great microbiologist, im going to order some of that.

Check the ingredients of those media, if you already have then there is no use to buy one. Anyway have a good luck .
