The results of preservation of microorganisms by lyophilization.Peer-reviewed article

J. FUSKA

A simplified procedure for preservation of microorganisms by lyophilization was elaborated and put to the tests. The preserved strains were revived after two years and they were able to produce the required metabolites in the original concentrations. This procedure of preservation can be used for preparation of standardized sporal inoculum for the test-methods in pharmaceutical, food and wood research, for the screening methods as well as for direct preparation of vegetative inoculum for processes of biosynthesis of metabolites.
