Hi everyone,
As there is very limited data concerning successful treatment options for brown jelly disease (BJD), I thought this would be a great opportunity to test some of the treatment options that have been anecdotally suggested. My wife and I have been busy all afternoon preparing slides and recording the progression of the disease at the macro and microscopic level from samples we harvested from one of our duncan frags (removed from the display). We're currently testing several treatment options in vitro, but I wanted to ask the community and see if anyone wanted us to test any specific compounds while we still have viable samples.
So far we plan to test different concentrations of:
metronidazole
lugol's solution
hydrogen peroxide
Bayer advanced complete insect killer
povidone iodine
RODI
bleach
Does anyone else have any other treatments options they would like tested? In addition if anyone has any specific experimental procedures they would like us to perform (such as concentration, time course, etc.) or other variables--let us know!
For a small sneak peak of our enemy, here's a quick TEASER
I've tagged twillard and Jason2459, but feel free to tag anyone else you think might want to add their input.
