S ummary .Vibrio fetus can be successfully freeze dried using the growth from thioglycollate blood agar. This medium is unsatisfactory for estimating the numbers of surviving organisms after freeze drying and storage. For this purpose a liquid medium containing 0.05% agar has been satisfactory. The long term storage of lyophilized preparations of V. fetus has not been fully investigated.
