Preservation of Borrelia kansas and Plasmodium berghei.
Borrelia kansas and Plasmodium berghei have been stored after slow freezing in thioglycollate-glycerol medium for a 6-month period. During this time, 75% or more of the Borrelia remained motile, many intracellular malarial parasites exhibited amoeboid movement, and the growth pattern of both organisms in mice remained unchanged.
