Summary

THE INFLUENCE OF REHYDRATION CONDITIONS ON THE RECOVERY OF 16 SPECIES OF FREEZE-DRIED LACTIC ACID BACTERIA WAS INVESTIGATED. THE SURVIVAL OF DRIED CULTURES DURING RECONSTITUTION TO THE WET STATE WAS INCREASED BY REHYDRATION WITH SMALL VOLUMES OF THE MEDIUM USED FOR THAT PURPOSE (0.3 AND 0.5 ML). COMPARISON OF REHYDRATION AT SEVERAL TIMES OF EXPOSURE SHOWED BEST SURVIVAL AT 10 MIN FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE SPECIES ANALYZED.
