Presentation
The blob reproduces in a similar way to fungi, but its feeding and movement patterns are more akin to those of animals. This giant cell, which can reach 10 m² in the laboratory, is intriguing. It has several nuclei and no nervous system. However, it has astonishing learning characteristics that can be reproduced in the classroom.
Supplied in dehydrated form (sclerotia), with its reactivation medium.
We offer two strains of different origins:
- The American strain is the same one used by Thomas Pesquet for his space experiments.
- The Australian strain complements the study with a comparative approach.
This kit is ideal for studying the impact of temperature change on the development of the Blob, as suggested by the CNRS participatory science experiment ‘Derrière le Blob, la Recherche’ (Behind the Blob, Research)! Add the 75W infrared bulb (283971), the infrared lamp (566037), the thermometer (290129) and the Petri dishes (714198).
Format: Variable depending on the transplantation of the sclerotia.
Duration of the experiment: Several sessions (monitoring the development of the Blob).
Shelf life: 6 months (or longer if the sclerotia are transplanted)
Storage conditions: Room temperature, dry
The kit consists of:
- 10 sclerotia (2 bags)
- 1 bottle of ready-to-pour agar culture medium (200 ml)
- Sterile oat flakes (50 g)
