Abstract
1. A new method for the preservation of bacteria by drying is described. 2. Marked differences between organisms were found with respect to the relationship between growth phase and recoveries after drying. 3. Recoveries of several strains of neisseriae and vibrios, both immediately after drying and after storage, were considerably higher than any previously recorded for similar species of these genera.Keywords
