摘要
The behavior of fungal conidia during freeze-drying at various cooling rates was studied microscopically. Rates that resulted in osmotic dehydration of the conidia prior to freeze-drying produced the highest survival. Size as well as wall thickness of the conidia proved to be important parameters. Species with thin-walled small conidia dehydrated quickly and, consequently, tolerated fast cooling.
