Hello Everyone,
I will be sampling in the Arctics during this summers and will be collecting cyanobacterial mats from different habitats like retreating glaciers, small puddles, green meadows and open rock boulders.
I intend to apply both the culture dependent and independent approaches.
For the culture dependent work, can anyone suggest some methods regarding how to bring back the samples back to India and grow them and also, how to store the samples in the Arctic station during my stay. It will be around 50 days after collection that the samples will be brought back to my lab.
Some advise for the culture independent work is also welcome in context of sample storage and processing !!!!!
