Abstract
A method using beads and storage at -80 degrees C was used to maintain isolates of the pathogenic mould Aspergillus fumigatus. Viability was assessed after 6 and 15 months and all isolates were recovered in cul ture. This inexpensive technique was found to be an effective and easy method of preserving A. fumigatus and other pathogenic moulds.
