Isolation, preservation and detection of industrially useful microorganisms is a time consuming and very expensive process. Therefore, it is essential to keep the isolated organisms in a viable condition so that it retains the desirable characters and it can be used whenever required for industrial production. This is done by storing it by creating certain […]
