microbial preservation

Microbial preservation is the process of keeping microorganisms, like bacteria and fungi, alive and viable for future use. This is important for research, vaccine production, and food safety. Scientists use various methods, such as freezing, drying, or adding preservatives, to slow down or stop the growth of microbes while maintaining their ability to thrive later. Proper preservation ensures that these tiny organisms can be studied, utilized in treatments, or maintained in products without losing their effectiveness or characteristics.
