The GMRC colony

About the GMRC line

Here at the GMRC at the University of Exeter we house a colony of research-grade Galleria mellonella. Our colony has been in continuous, isolated culture since 2017, and produces healthy, fecund adults which are crossed in batches of 50-75 to maintain the colony size. 

The GMRC Galleria colony is reared in constant darkness, at constant temperature and without the use of antibiotics. We make a modified diet, based off published rearing methods (Jorjão AL, et al., 2018 - diet 3) using organic ingredients.
