Abstract
SUMMARY A general collection of 400 stock cultures of fungi on agar slants was stored in a deep-freeze chest at — 20° C for nine 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 now in progress.Keywords
