Abstract
The disclosure provides compositions comprising a disaccharide, a nutrient, and a buffer, which may be used for the preservation of bacteria, such as during lyophilization and/or extended storage. Provided herein are methods for preserving bacteria, involving adding bacteria to the compositions and subjecting the compositions to a lyophilization cycle. Also provided herein are methods for generating compositions that may be used, for example for the preservation of bacteria.
