Abstract

Our study of the techniques of long-term storage of the biomass of various strains of microorganisms, which cause breakdown or transformation of synthetic organic compounds, demonstrates that desiccated agar beads with immobilized microbial cells can be used for this purpose. In addition, the cells can be stored in desiccated matrices of agar or polyvinyl alcohol, coating synthetic cords. Such dry biocatalysts may be used for quick starting of bioreactors and in other biotechnological processes. The technique is applicable to storage of various strains ofPseudomonas, Corynebacterium, Rhodococcus, and, to a lesser extent, Enterobacteriaceae.
