  • Methods of preserving prokaryotic cells and compositions obtained thereby
    Publication number: 20030113900
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of drying and stabilizing prokaryotic cells, and the compositions obtained thereby. The cells are first cultured or incubated under conditions sufficient to induce intracellular trehalose, suspended in a stabilizing solution and dried to form a solid glass. The resulting product is storage-stable at room temperature, showing little viability loss on storage.
