Re: [DIYbio] Cultivation of bacteria

I would also recommend LB-agar medium poured into a disposable recipient (Petri dish) which should remove the risk of infection since you throw away everything and not just the media. However, the disposable recipient might still contain pathogens. 

I did some trials for skin bacteria and I got a few different species/strains on LB-agar. I still need to sequence their 16S to determine their species/strains. None of them grew in liquid culture though. 

The major problem with working on bacteria found on humans is the possibility of airbone infections since it is quite difficult to know with what you are working with.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm from Germany and I think it's legal but illegal to modify them.

You should check if it is legal in your country. There are a lot of biosaftey-2 organisms growing on your skin. Welcome to biolaw...

Maybe you want to buy LB agar and sterilize it in marmelade jars? Would cost more but less messing around finding the right ingredients
