Summary

Comparison of survival rates from three treatments: freeze-drying, vacuum dehydration and low-temperature vacuum dehydration. Study of the effects of protective agents or media. Low-temperature vacuum dehydration reduces the drying time and results in a survival rate similar to the one obtained with freeze-drying. The addition of protective agents during culture improves the viability of dehydrated cells: calcium carbonate is the best.
