Abstract Cells from embryonic tissue of G. operculella have been grown in vivo on Mitsuhashi and Maramorosch's medium (containing yeast extract, lactalbumin hydrolysate and foetal bovine serum) for about 600 days and subcultured 77 times. Cells consist of morphologically different cell types. They grow well both as a monolayer attached to glass or in suspension culture on a shaker. Cell doubling time in stationary culture is about 48 hr. Cells also grow well on medium containing bovine serum albumin instead of foetal bovine serum and have been subcultured 16 times on this medium without decrease in growth rate.
