Viability and stability of fungi isolated from lake La izvor after lyophilization

Abstract

Lyophilization is one of the safest and most durable methods of preservation of the viability and stability of the biological properties of microorganisms. Twenty strains of aquatic fungi, representatives of the genera: Penicillium, Talaromyces, Trichoderma, were lyophilized. The evaluation of the viability of fungal strains after lyophilization demonstrated that the viability of aquatic fungal strains, isolated from water, varies between 96.7% and 99.2%.
