Method for storing Lagenidium (Oomycetes: Lagenidiales).
Techniques for storing the mosquito pathogenic fungus, Lagenidium, were evaluated. A technique, which involves storage of fungal mycelia in sterile distilled water of pH 6-7 with 0.0025 M glucose at 30-35 degrees C, was found to be useful. When stored in this manner the fungus retained it's larvicidal activity for 190 days.
