Question about Dinoflagellates science fair project

Post by deleted-262280 »

Hello, I have a question about the science project titled "Bioluminescence: Investigating Glow-in-the-Dark Dinoflagellates. https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p033.shtml
After I'm done with using the dinoflagellates, how should I discard them safely?

The best way to dispose of them would be to autoclave them (pressure-sterilize), but if you do not have access you can use a 20% bleach solution and soak them in it overnight. Make sure to wear gloves and handle the bleach carefully.
