Abstract
In order to optimize the storage conditions of heterogeneous microbial community, the trehalose influence on the survival of bacteria and yeast cells was studied. It was shown that trehalose increases survival about 20 fold at –20 ºC as compared to the control sample. Dehydration and desiccation lethal effect on the community in the presence of trehalose was significantly smaller in terms of cell viability. The dependence of the initial cell density of studied biocenoses on microbial survival in the presence of the disaccharide was revealed.
