Irregular growth of Aspergillus brasiliensis. What's going on?

21 January 2023 0 4K Report

Hi everybody! I've had problems with inhibition tests (disk diffusion).

Even in the control condition when I put culture disks of the same size in triplicate, the fungus doesn't grow uniformly. The problem isn't the oxygen, as I've already tested. What else should I do?
