title: [Methods for preserving bacterial cultures].
abstract: A wide variety of techniques are available for the preservation of bacteria and it may be difficult to choose a method for a particular strain, which not only assures survival, but which also makes certain that the genotype and hence the unique characteristics do not change. This paper provides a summary of the main features of various available methods with references to recent research and applications.
