Gene Expression, Bacteria Viability and Survivability Following Spray Drying of Mycobacterium smegmatis

We find that Mycobacterium smegmatis survives spray drying and retains cell viability in accelerated temperature stress (40 °C) conditions with a success rate that increases with increasing thermal, osmotic, and nutrient-restriction stresses applied to the mycobacterium prior to spray drying. M.smeg...
