... live cells even if you store them without cryopreservants (or cryoprotectants). With animal cells, you need to add something that prevents ice crystal formation, the most common ones being DMSO and glycerol. Also, some small invertebraters such as tardigrada (water bears) use the sugar trehalose ...

... grown so you should know by then if it is aerobic or not. Then a group of selective media either prepared by hand or in a kit (Biomerieux API, BD crystal...) selected on the basis of the first observations. But my method works well too. I f you have the right equipment. Might be faster too.

... not need to get involved in. Anyhow, I stand corrected. Is this better? "Trilobites (extinct arthropods) are known to have had well developed crystal lens compound eyes of modern insects." I have to thank you for pointing that out. The Cambrian Explosion section is the newest. It's less ...

I think what you are asking, then, is how do crystals form. The physics of crystal formation is essentially the same, whether you're talking about borax crystals in a classroom, or mineral crystallization in molten rock, or stalagmite/stalagtite ...
