Type of article: Article

Summary

Study of the tolerance of S. cerevisiae, cultivated discontinuously in aerobiosis, according to the particular growth phase (respiratory or respirofermentary (exponential)), the trehalose buildup, the presence of ethanol or glycerol, and the rapid-freezing conditions (liquid nitrogen, cooling rate 200 deg C per minute). The ethanol has a cryoprotective effect.
