LIQUID NITROGEN. “Many microbes and cell lines can be preserved successfully at -196 ‘C (liquid nitrogen), but the lowest recorded temperature for active microbial communities is substantially higher, at -18 ‘C … ice crystals can rip cell membranes, and solution chemistry stops in the absence of liquid water. Freezing of intracellular water is almost invariably lethal.”
