Convective drying of bacteria. II. Factors influencing survival.
In the previous part of this review, the parameters of the drying process that can be important for the survival of bacteria upon drying, were reviewed. In this part the other factors which can be important for survival, will be discussed. The discussion starts with the mechanisms that can be responsible for thermal and dehydration inactivation. Moreover, the influence of storage conditions on the stability of dried bacterial cultures will be reviewed.
