{Abstract}: Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) preservation aims to maintain valuable characteristics. Growth, conidiation and genetic stability of eight species of EPF were evaluated in six preservation methods for up to 8.2 years. Cryopreservation at -196 °C, freeze-drying, and ultra-freezing at -70 °C resulted as the best methods for long-term storage.
