Ames spores per week using the Leighton and Doi protocol. They have not used fermentation in the production of these spores. IVINS explained that around the late 1980s or early 1990s, spores began being stored in water and i% phenol in the refrigerator, and being shipped refrigerated. Prior to then, spores were stored and shipped frozen. Vegetative cells are not usually stored because they can be grown at any time, however when they are stored, they are frozen with a ¢ryopreservative such as glycerol.
