CCMP1315 was cryopreserved on Sep 19 2002 using 12% DMSO as a cryoprotectant.
The time required to regrow this culture, prior shipping, is approximately 21 days. If interested, please contact the CCMP for the cryopreservation methods (freezing and/or thawing protocols).
Note that aquaculture strains are always maintained as actively growing cultures, even if also cryogenically stored. Therefore, aquaculture strain starter cultures (2x15ml) and only starter cultures can be shipped within 24h of ordering (see aquaculture express ordering on the CCMP home page).
