CULTURE AND PRESERVATION OF MICROORGANISMS WITHIN A CONCENTRATED MEDIUM

摘要

A microorganism growth medium is concentrated up from the optimum medium and extends the growth cycle of the microorganisms. The growth of the microorganism has not been dominantly limited by the depletion of essential nutrients, and therefore these are still present, even in the stationary and death phase of the growth cycle. The growth medium can therefore be diluted in these phases, preferably to the optimum growth medium and the overall growth of the microorganisms again commences.
