OF ENRICHMENT
MEDIA/ENRICHMENT METHOD-

rates compared to the other species present in the mixed culture.
• Dried Cultures
Storage in
dehydrated form • Use freeze-drying
technique
STORAGE AT REDUCED
TEMPERATURE
Storage on agar slope
Sub-culture at
approximately 6 month
interval or can be
extended to one year if
the slopes are covered
with sterile medicinal
grade mineral oil.
Storage under liquid nitrogen.
Cryogenic storage.
The metabolic activities of
microorganisms may be reduced
by storage at very low temperature
(-150º C to – 196º C) using liquid
nitrogen storage containers.
