The Cryopreservation of Euglena gracilis

Abstract

A method for the cryopreservation of Euglena gracilis is described; for 26 strains the recovery on thawing was at least 30%. Methanol (10%, v/v) was the only effective cryo-protectant for freezing to, and thawing from, -196 °C, though the recovery of cells depended on the rates of cooling and warming.
