title: Viability of lyophilized anaerobes in two media.
abstract: Viability of 15 species of anaerobes was followed after freeze-drying and storage for 1 year. Organisms maintained in a 12% sucrose concentration in chopped meat carbohydrate broth survived longer and maintained higher viability counts than those organisms in double-strength skim milk.
