DROSOPHILA CULTURE IN CUBE RJ
A fresh start with the CsBz culture in RJ college from 23/8/19…media date: 21/8/19
Had a satisfactory culture till 19/9/19…
But then slowly started to lose the cultures as I didnt have a fresh media bottle and therefore couldn’t transfer the flies to a fresh media bottle.
So now starting again with the CsBz flies as well as native flies hoping not to loose any of them this time
27/9/19
Prepared 500 ml corn meal agar media for 15 bottles on 27/9/19.
OBJECTIVE
Immediate:
Start 5 single lines from the native flies.
Short term:
Maintenance & Culturing of CsBz as well as native fruit flies.
Performing the olfactory assay.
Long term:
Providing evidences for evolution by comparing the olfactory senses of the lab bred and the native D.melanogaster
Plan with these bottles-
Will be making 5 single lines from the native flies trapped.
Also will transfer some CsBz flies to these bottles for increasing the CsBz culture!!
