[Celegans] crusty lawns

[David Fay]

Hi,

We've had a problem recently with some of our plates having OP50 lawns 
that have the consistency of creme brulee – meaning that they are kind 
of crusty on top instead of smooth and creamy. No one in the lab, 
including the plate pourers and spotters, seem to know what's going on 
and why some of our plates do this. Our worms don't like it though. Any 
insights?

Thanks,

David
