Submitting strains to the Center

The Tetrahymena Stock Center is now accepting strain deposits. Strains will be accepted based on potential usefulness to the Tetrahymena research and teaching community. As stocks come in and are secured in the Stock Center freezers, they will be listed in the database and made publicly available. Those wishing to deposit Tetrahymena strains for archiving and distribution to the Tetrahymena community should contact us for detailed information, but the basic deposition procedure is outlined on the pages below.
