Does anyone have any information of the lyophilization of alkaliphilic
halophiles or halophiles in general? We are trying to lyophilize
halophiles for the purpose of storage, but haven't come up with a
suitable medium to wash the cells after harvest. The cells we are
working with will lyse if we lower the NaCl concentration below 1.2 M.
Thanks!
