[Long-term preservation of reference cultures of microorganisms in the form of gelatin disks].
The survival of the various bacteria, yeast and fungal species maintained in gelatinous disks for 1-2 years has been tested. As a rule, cultures with poor lyophilization performance were badly preserved in gelatinous disks (e.g. non-sporulating fungi and certain bacteria and yeast species). Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and Candida requinyii species after being stored for two years do not change the main taxonomic characteristics and possess the growth ability.
