im suppose to take samples from the root region. the problem lies on how to propagate it in peteri plates... does sanyone know any protocol or steps on how to culture cyanobacteria in a laboratory setting? thanks!

[MrMistery]

well it depends on your species. Generally cianobacteria don't need anything except for air and water...

cyanobacteria are nitrogen fixers so you can help isolate them by growing in a nitrogen free culture.
