Does anybody here know if Physerum can survive being submerged for long periods of time? Ka

Also does anybody know if they react to salts , or acids or bases? Ka

i already know it is capable of responding intelligently to electrolosys La

Hi

You need an osmotically neutral solution to keep them submerged for long, I'll try to find the recipe. Yes they sense pH and salt concentrations

Physiological Salt Solution (PSS)  6.0 mM NaCl, 3.0 mM KCl, 1.0 mM CaCl2 ,0.1 mM NaHCO3 ,0.5 mM MgCl2.

You could try getting a bottle of sterile eyewash and trying a few dilutions of that - roughly 10% might be a good starting point
