Abstract
Essential vitamins for the growth of a cell line derived from the flesh fly , Sarcophaga peregrina, were determined. By examining the survivability of continuous passages of the cells in the chemically defined medium lacking o ne vitamin, thiamine, riboflavin, pantothenate and either niacin or niacina mide were found to be essential for the continuous growth of the flesh fly cells in vitro.
