ABSTRACT

In this study several resuscitating factors for nonculturable cells were tested. Objects of the research were nonculturable cells in populations of

Lactococcus lactis and in lyophilized probiotic preparations containing Escherichia coli, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus. We found that some of the studied additives have potential for increasing numbers of CFU/mL of microorganisms in question.
