The figure depicts the outline of a large fairy ring that has appeared overnight in an open meadow, as viewed from above. The fairy ring represents the furthest advance of this mycelium through the soil. Locations A-D are all 0.5 meters below the soil surface. Where would you expect to find the oldest portion of this mycelium? location A O location B O location C O location D

Your lab coordinator has decided to grow and maintain a sourdough starter. A sourdough starter is a live, on-going culture of yeast that is grown in flour, water, and a bit of sugar. It is used as an ingredient in some types of bread. Initially when the ingredients were mixed together the mixture appeared dead. After a while, it began to bubble and foam and then it tripled in volume. Eventually it stopped bubbling. Every week it is maintained by "feeding” it fresh flour every week. Over time, it will start to develop a 'sour' taste when it is used to make bread. This is the question Sometimes the starter (which is a living culture) accumulates other species of yeast. How does it accumulcate another species? You have been asked to take this mixed culture and isolate the different species in the starter (which is basically a liquid culture). How will you do it?
