Carolina Teacher Tips
QUESTION:
How do I know when my
Sordaria
plate is ready to use?
ANSWER:
Use a wooden toothpick to scrape a few perithecia from the plate periphery, where the 2 strains have grown together. Place the perithecia on a microscope slide, add a drop of water, and gently press down on them with a coverslip. The perithecia should break open with gentle pressure and you should see asci with spores (they resemble bubblegum balls in a wrapper). You should also see a color difference between the 2 spore types in their crossover arrangement.
Here are some signs the
Sordaria
asci
are not ready to be used:
You use a lot of pressure to break open the perithecia (the black spheres).
The spores are greenish in color.
You only see darl, sac-like perithecia and no asci with spores.
If the culture is not ready, continue to incubate the plate at 25° C (77° F) and repeat the testing process until the asci mature and rupture easily on the slide. If the culture is still not ready on Friday, the plate can be refrigerated over the weekend. Allow the plate and culture to come to room temperature before rechecking on Monday.
Intermediate
- Easy to perform; requires some basic training in microbiology.
Designed for a class of 30 advanced students. Students will culture the 3
Sordaria
strains and then set up cross plates of wild type × mutant tan and wild type × mutant gray. The gene to centromere distance for tan and gray genes can then be calculated. Requires the use of a compound microscope. With teacher instructions.
