What is cordy precipitates?

Answer 1

These are strings of an insoluble compound falling out of solution after a chemical reaction. The strings develop because the precipitate dissociates from the solution faster than the precipitate falls to the bottom of the reaction vessel.

Answer 2

Cordy precipitates refer to the process of forming insoluble protein aggregates in the mycelium of a Cordyceps fungi culture. This can occur when the culture is under stress or in inadequate growth conditions, resulting in clumping and sedimentation of the mycelium. It is important to monitor and prevent cordy precipitates as they can affect the growth and health of the culture.
