I am having contamination issues (yeast, mold/fungus, bacteria) in my current working conditions (an old, outdated, undergraduate teaching lab) that I can’t get under control. I am considering using nystatin and streptomycin in my NGM media with OP50-1 to help control for contamination issues. Has anybody encountered any secondary effects on the worms using these reagents? I haven’t found anything in the literature. My research with undergraduates ranges from behavior, lifespan, and development to genetic and molecular assays. Thanks for your time!
I just noticed there is a similar thread here:
