We wanted to grow fungi (Fusarium Spp.) from environmental samples (wheat grain) on plates with PDA medium. Due to great amount of samples we need to froze mycelium before the DNA extraction. Is it possible and safe for future PCR assay?
Hi Anna: I have work with frozen fungal mycelia, sometime I don't have time to do DNA extraction directly after harvesting mycelium, so I use to store it in freezer -18C for more than 2 week before I do the extraction .
