Answered
The best process for short-term storage of bacterial cultures is refrigeration at 4°C. This slows down bacterial metabolism and growth, preserving the culture for several weeks or months without significantly altering its properties. For longer-term storage, glycerol freezing or lyophilization (freeze-drying) is often used.
