Abstract
A highly heat-sensitive and xerolabile suspension of photosynthetic ba cteria was dried in batch and continuous vibrofluidized beds of porous and nonporous solid carriers. Experimental drying rate and particle t emperature curves as well as growth tests for fresh and dried bacteria show that this is a technically feasible process, and product obtaine d is of required quality.
