* Test Cultures come from Water and Bacteria, so Barren, Ice, Oceanic or Temperate planets could produce these completely.

Note, however, that Eygfe III would be a good planet to produce Test Cultures, since it has equal parts Microorganisms (makes Bacteria) and Aquaeous Liquid (makes Water), meaning that you are not filling your storage with extra stuff you do not need. This would of course depend on the exact distribution of those two resources as well as their abundance. If we found a planet that has 30% Aqueous Liquids, and 30% Microorgasms, this is a good choice. However, what if we found a planet with 30% Aqueous Liquids and 40% Microorganisms. If we are willing to collect the excess Microorganisms on a regular basis, we can produce the Test Cultures, and have a small amount of extra revenue selling Bacteria to producers of Nanites, sited on Barren worlds where the abundance of Microorganisms is less than on the Oceanic world we chose.

The conjecture about Microorganism abundance on Barren worlds is complete conjecture at this point. :-)
