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 one vitamin, thiamine, riboflavin, pantothenate and either niacin or niacinamide were found to be essential for the continuous growth of the flesh fly cells in vitro.
