Announcements
Due to a contamination outbreak, many strains of the Cyanobacteria, Extreme Environment collection, and Salt Plains Collection have been temporarily removed from the web site. Until further notice, most strains with prefix LB are currently not available for order, and no rush orders will be accepted. These strains will be made available once free of this contamination. A list of available strains is available for download: LB Strain Availability. Though unavailable for orders, information on most strains is still accessible through this site.
