| Abstract: | The survival of 100 strains of bacteria, representing 15 genera, on freeze drying and during storage in the freeze dried state for 10 years has been assessed. Gram-positive organisms tended to survive better than Gram-negative. Viable organisms were recovered from all but one of the cultures. |
