Summary

CULTURES OF 14 LACTIC ACID BACTERIA SPECIES WERE FREEZE-DRIED IN 10 OR 20% NON-FAT SKIM MILK AND IN DISTILLED WATER CONTAINING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ADDITIVES: BOVINE ALBUMIN, GLYCOGEN, DEXTRAN, POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL 1000, 4000 OR 6000, GLYCEROL, BETA-GLYCEROPHOSPHATE, SODIUM GLUTAMATE, ASPARAGINE, OR CYSTEINE. EACH OF THE PROTECTIVE AGENTS EXHIBITED MARKED VARIATIONS IN THE PROTECTION AFFORDED TO DIFFERENT SPECIES, NONE OF THEM WAS EFFECTIVE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF VIABILITY OF THERMOPHILIC LACTOBACILLI.
