Can I use...
Gibberellic acid to contaminate plants with gibberella fujikuroi? I want to extract gibberellic acid... but I don't know where to begin! I have some
solution (750ppm), but I need the fungus to culture.
Thanks in advance!
hey, if you are reading this, I can't U2U, but you are always welcome to send me an email!

Can you be clearer? You have a solution (of what? gibberellic acid?), and you want to do what? Extract a sample of gibberellic acid? Culture
gibberella fujikuroi to obtain more gibberellic acid?

If I understand you correctly, you want to know if a solution of GBA will infect a plant with a fungus? Think about that question again, and I think
the answer will be clear.
There may be somewhere to buy spores, but I couldn't find it.

That's exactly what I want to do. Can I use GBA to mutate some type of fungus?

No. Since the fungus is used commercially to produce GBA, you can probably find spores or culture somewhere, but I couldn't find one via five minutes
on google. It might be restricted, being a plant pathogen.
