Re: [DIYbio] Vibrio fischeri isolation

Hi.

Basically that's right.

On squids and herings from the sea there always are some bacteria on their skin.
A professor of mine told me that it would also work with salmon.

So I went to the "Nordsee" fish shop where I bought a piece of salmon (flesh+skin)

I put the skin in salty water and the glowing bacteria grew.


Now I have a source for a PCR of the lux Operon at least ;)

I may have missed an earlier discussion on this, but... can you give
more information on what's going on here?  It sounds like you just put
fish skin on a plate with saltwater and then it started glowing.
