Cryopreservation of protozoa

[Adrian.Philbey at SMTPGWY.AGRIC.NSW.GOV.AU]

          Recently I posted a request for information about
          storage of tissues containing viable protozoa for subsequent
          isolation in cell culture. For those interested in this
          subject, the following reference, although not specifically
          referring to storage of tissue samples, may be relevant:

          protozoa in liquid nitrogen J Euk Microbiol 42:585-590
