Abstract

Microorganisms play an important role in various fields, including biotechnology, food processing, pharmaceuticals and the environment. However, preserving the viability and genetic stability of microorganisms during storage and transportation is challenging. In order to ensure efficient operation and obtain reliable results, it is necessary to develop an optimal method for the preservation of microbial cultures. The aim of the study is to develop an effective lyophilization technology and selection of cryoprotectants to improve the co-culture of Bacillus coagulans and Streptococcus thermophilus. Co-culturing of these bacteria is essential to obtain high quality products with desired properties. Proper lyophilization technology and the addition of cryoprotectants have made it possible to significantly reduce the damage caused by freezing and to successfully culture the two bacteria. Sucrose is found to be one of the most effective cryoprotectants in this study. It showed the best result in a 3:1 ratio with the bacterial mass. Quantum chemical calculations were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of sucrose as a cryoprotectant. The results of the calculations confirmed that sucrose is an effective cryoprotectant for Bacillus coagulans and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria. It should be noted that the development of an optimal method of preservation is crucial for effective work and reliable results in the cultivation of microbial cultures. The study showed that the correct choice of lyophilization technology and the addition of cryoprotectants, in particular sucrose, can significantly improve the co-cultivation of Bacillus coagulans and Streptococcus thermophilus. This finding has practical implications for the food industry and other fields in which microorganisms are used
