Abstract
A general collection of 400 stock cultures of fungi on agar slants was stored in a deep-freeze chest at -20[degree] C for 9 months. Viability was generally well maintained over this period. Keeping stock cultures in a freezer appears to be a convenient method for obtaining "inactive" storage, and long term tests are in progress.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
