Would these work for storing a DNA sample long term?

That product has not been validated for use with DNA storage. A Tris EDTA buffer would be more suitable for long-term DNA storage, which we do not offer.

what is the shelf life of these swabs?

Our typical shelf life is 4 weeks.

Can these swabs be used to culture wild yeast and bacteria for fermentation?

Hello, and thank you for your question. These tubes are designed to capture and maintain cells during initial sampling, so they work as a temporary holding solution while transporting a sample to the lab for further testing. If this is what you need, the product should work fine for this purpose. However, if you need a product to culture cells (i.e. incubate and increase cell numbers) or test for fermentation capability, we would not recommend this particular product. Thank you again for your question and please let us know if you need any further assistance!
