Abstract excerpt
Eight cryopreservation protocols were assessed for their effects on the viability and phenotypic stability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during a five-year study. It is found that viability and phenotypic features have remained largely unchanged when the yeast was preserved in glycerol, dimethyl sulphoxide, or sucrose at -80 degrees C or in liquid nitrogen. When sorbitol was used as a cryoprotectant,...
