Galeb Harbor Culture Plates

sampling galebs microbiome special salty nutrient plates were set up ..

Is your Squid Glowing yet? (And what about the smell...?)

We obtained fresh small squid(loligo vulgaris?/driatic squid?) from the rijeka market (and also some octopus probably octopus vulgaris) We obtained some ice we incubated the squids (est approx 10cm mantle length) Container 1) 2 squid in asw which is 36gm sea salt + water 2) 1 squid in asw 3) 2 squid in harbor seawater media (possibly with nutrient enhancement such as glycerol. Marc?

after 24 hours in this medium the results were observed in near total darkness in artificial cushion cave (ACC) constucted by participants and hackteria crew.

Hypothesis was would the natural water support light, or was it too polluted?

   Glowing

we had a lack of controls for example, squid in chlorinated water, water only.

Was satisfying to see that the octopus also glowed in its own juices.
