Amount of Food and Repellent Testing

We conducted two other experiments by varying the amount of food: one with little food and another with a greater amount.  The results show different responses to the different food amounts.  See below:.

DAY2

Small amount of food

Large amount of food

DAY4

Given a large amount of food, the mold takes longer to enter the branching mode because its immediate food source is abundant.

When given a small amount of food, the mold branches out quickly in search on the next food source. 


Based on previous results from the Repellent test dish, we wanted to know what would happen if we introduced a repellent to an already healthy growing environment.  Stay tuned to see what happens...
