Optimisation of initial cell concentration enhances freeze-drying tolerance of Pseudomonas chlororaphis.
(2003) In Cryobiology 47(1). p.21-29- Abstract
- The freeze-drying tolerance of Pseudomonas chlororaphis, an antifungal bacterium used as biocontrol agent was investigated. P. chlororaphis is freeze-drying sensitive and the viability drops more than 3 log units in the absence of protective freeze-drying medium. Of the freeze-drying media tested, lactose, sucrose, trehalose, glutamate, sucrose with glutamate, skimmed milk, and skimmed milk with trehalose, skimmed milk gave the lowest survival (0.6 ± 0.2%) and sucrose the highest (6.4 ± 1.2%). Cellular accumulation of sucrose from the freeze-drying medium and the protective effect of sucrose were dependent on sucrose concentration. The effect of initial cell concentration, from 1 × 107 to 5 × 1010 CFU/ml, on survival after freeze-drying... (More)

Cellular accumulation of sucrose from the freeze-drying medium and the protective effect of sucrose were dependent on sucrose concentration. The effect of initial cell concentration, from 1 × 107 to 5 × 1010 CFU/ml, on survival after freeze-drying was studied for carbon starved cells with sucrose as freeze-drying medium. The highest freeze-drying survival values, 15–25%, were obtained for initial cell concentrations between 1 × 109 and 1 × 1010 CFU/ml. For cell concentrations outside this window more than 10 times lower survival values were observed. P. chlororaphis was cultivated to induce stress response that could confer protection against freeze-drying inactivation. Carbon starvation and, to a lesser extent, heat treatment enhanced freeze-drying tolerance. By combining optimal cell concentration, optimal sucrose concentration and carbon starvation the survival after freeze-drying was 26 ± 6%. (Less)
