Several techniques are available for long-term preservation of Fusarium species including lyophilization (Fisher et al., 1982), liquid nitrogen (Booth, 1971), mineral oil (Lima, 1991), sterile soil (Booth, 1971; Toussoun and Nelson, 1976), and silica gel (Windels et al., 1988). While these methods are effective in preserving Fusarium species, each has limitations. Lyophilization and liquid nitrogen ensure long-term viability with minimal cultural variation, but the equipment is expensive and cultures cannot be returned to storage for reuse. Mineral oil is messy to use. Storage in soil carries a risk of mutation which can result in loss of morphological characters and, sometimes, pathogenicity (Toussoun and Nelson, 1976). Anhydrous silica gel has been used as a convenient method for preservation of bacteria (Sleesman and Leben, 1978; Trollope, 1975), several genera of fungi (Perkins, 1962; Trollope, 1975), and algae (Grivell and Jackson, 1969). In a 5-yr study, 15 of 17 species of Fusarium survived comparably well on silica gel and sterile soil (Windels et al., 1988). This article reports on the viability of the same culture collection after storage for 10 yr. Fusarium cultures were purified by the singlespore or hyphal-tip method (Nelson et al., 1983) and stored on both silica gel and sterile soil at 4.5 ? 0.5 C (Windels et al., 1988). Of 458 cultures, 18 species (Nelson et al., 1983) were represented: F. acuminatum, F. avenaceum, F. culmorum, F. dimerum, F. equiseti, F. graminearum, F. lateritium, F. merismoides, F. moniliforme, F. oxysporum, F. poae, F. proliferatum, F. sambucinum, F. semitectum, F. solani, F. sporotrichioides, F. subglutinans, and F. tricinctum. After storage for 10 yr, each culture was tested for viability by sprinkling a few particles onto Difco potato-dextrose agar (PDA). If the first attempt was unsuccessful, the procedure was repeated until a viable colony appeared or until the stored material was depleted. Cultures were incubated under three fluorescent 40 W tubes supplemented with one black tube, F40 BLB series (General Electric, Cleveland, Ohio), for 12 h per day for 7 days. Survival of most Fusarium spp. was satisfactory on soil and silica gel after 5 yr (94 and 92%, respectively); viability was maintained on soil but declined on silica gel after 10 yr (92 and 83%, respectively) (TABLE I). Viability of cultures stored in soil for 10 yr was > 90% for all species except F. avenaceum, F. solani, and F. tricinctum. Viability of cultures stored on silica gel for 10 yr was > 90% for all species except F. avenaceum, F. culmorum, F. dimerum, F. graminearum, F. lateritium, F. poae, F. sambucinum, F. semitectum, F. solani, and F. subglutinans. After 10 yr of storage, survival was greater on silica gel than on soil for four species (F. merismoides, F. oxysporum, F. solani, and F. tricinctum) and equal to soil for three species (F. moniliforme, F. proliferatum, F. sporotrichioides). Survival was greater on soil than on silica gel for the other 11 species. Survival of F. graminearum on soil was 100% after 10 yr. Cultures of F. graminearum stored
