R. Coppola et al., SURVIVAL AFTER FREEZING OF MESOPHILIC LAC TOBACILLI ISOLATED FROM FERMENTED MEAT AND SOURDOUGH, Industrie alimentari, 35(347), 1996, pp. 349
Two strains of Lactobacillus sake and two of Lactobacillus curvatus, i
solated from fermented meat, plus one of Lactobacillus brevis and one
of Lactobacillus plantarum, isolated from sourdough, were stored for 3
months at: -80 degrees C in Skim Milk + glucose (0.5%) and in MRS bro
th + glycerol (20%). In these conditions high survivals of all the str
ains were detected. However Skim Milk always exhibited cryoprotectant
capacities higher than glycerol.
