Computer is needed to generate the set of electric impulses
which stimulate not the elongation of hyphae but branching of
hyphae and anastomosis between the hyphaes of different
polarity. These "learning" impulses are a stimulus to create
the "pseudoneural" net of hyphaes to accept the conditional
electric signal.

Sorry, the discussions about the specificity of the media to
cultivate the bacteria is not a way to a future. Most prominent
achievements were made on the boundaries between the
sciences.The microbial biocomputer will be made on the base of
electrophysiology of microbial cells.There will be combined the
computer ,electronic and biological sciences.
The free and friendly discussions in the bionet promote ,in
principle, the development of new ideas and microbiology
generally.
Best,
