SUMMARY
Viable cultures of dermatophytes free from pleomorphic changes were maintained for as long as two years by suspending the fungi in the protective colloids, human blood plasma or litmus milk, and storing at either — 22° C or — 52° C. The routine is simple, convenient and expedient. This method of storage relieves the mycologist of the laborious task involved in the periodic transfer of stock collections.
