IVINS explained that around the late 1980s or early 1990s, spores began being stored in water and 1% phenol in the refrigerator, and being shipped refrigerated. Prior to then, spores were stored and shipped frozen. Vegetative cells are not usually stored because they can be grown at any time, however when they are stored, they are frozen with a éryopreservative such as glycerol. Vegetative cells are shipped in this same manner.
