  • If you want your liquid culture thick like ours, give it a nutritional boost with Peptone and stir it often. Ever since we’ve started using this method our liquid culture has been growing in leaps and bounds. We tried several different methods, but nothing worked as well for us as Peptone.

    Great video! I am actually the export manager for Yuantide Peptone and your video helps us decide to release the consumer version so thank you for that! Peptone is commonly used in fermentation industry acting as a source for protein. Based on our experience from that practice, you can also try to add yeast extract (not yeast) into the mix and see if there's any benefit. Peptone from different material sources can also make a difference (think of it like eating different types of meat), and our client often sees greater benefits from mixing both plant-based and animal-based peptone together (so soy peptone and bone/fish/casein peptone).

    • @andrewbarnett2761
      @andrewbarnett2761 Před rokem +1

      I was thinking about buying your product online. I was wondering do you know if yeast extract would be faster for mycelium? I see you have both products and was wondering.

    • @CEROtian9279
      @CEROtian9279 Před rokem +3

      @@andrewbarnett2761 Actually, our yeast extract product is still in transit, but it should be ready in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, you can purchase yeast extract from other companies. Yeast extract is essentially yeast without its outer cell layer, which leads to a higher concentration of nitrogen or protein. We haven't tried it on mycelium, so the main question would be whether the fungi prefer a lower concentration of sugar and a higher concentration of protein from yeast or not. Most bio-pharma plants here have chosen a combination of yeast extract and peptone (because the combination provides a better profile of amino acids), so I hope this provides you with some direction :)

      Do all of the peptones smell like rot? I’ve used hiveg in my LC but it makes it cloudy and stinky.

    • @CEROtian9279
      @CEROtian9279 Před 8 měsíci

      Hi, in terms of smell yes. Peptone is basically hydrolyzed protein, and those smaller molecule tends to smell rot as you said. However, it shouldn't be cloudy at the concentration this video is using. I assume hiveg is a product by HiMedia so I can't vouch for their products, but our peptone don't typically appear cloudy at such low concentration. @@TheOffCycle

    I bought peptone and have been using it for the last couple months. It's funny, you talked about myc forming a mat on the surface on the LC and I almost never had a problem with that just stirring the jars by hand. I started using peptone, and my jars became cloudy, started to look way different to the point I thought they had contams. Also started seeing myc grow vigorous mats on the surface - eventually I realized this was all because of the peptone. I have noticed way faster colonization times from the jars that have peptone and stir bars compared to without them. It's pretty insane.

    I've gotta say, you should be careful with which lasers you use to check LC!!! A lot of internet green lasers are insanely overpowered and often outright lie on the sticker. A $10 green laser could be easily be 80mW+ which are *powerful enough to vaporize your retina faster than you can blink* should an errant or reflected beam strike your eye in the wrong way.
    Just make sure you use with extreme caution. Green lasers are actually made by shining IR laser diodes through a crystal that modifies the beam's wavelength. These are not efficient either, so even laser safety goggles rated for just green light could let IR right through, which is invisible but just as dangerous as visible light.
    That being said if you are careful and only shine it directly into a body like in the video it gets dispersed rapidly. This reduces intensity of the light but is not guaranteed to be eye safe either.

    What is the difference between mycological peptone and bacteriological peptone? Why do you use bacteriological?

      Did you ever find a good answer, I just got bacteriological peptone in mail now I'm not sure if I should use it.

    Hey guys can someone help me out. I bought golden light dry malt extract and also peptone. So to keep it at 4% do I add 1/2 tsp of LME and 1/2 of peptone? Or do I keep 4% LME And then add an additional 1 gram of peptone? How does this work? Doesn’t matter I just don’t want to add to much nutrients to my pint size jar and make the mycelium lazy.

      4% sugar to water... the peptone is additional and not factored in to the %
