TY - JOUR T1 - Plastic Encapsulation of Stabilized Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida A1 - Manzanera, M. LA - en PB - American Society for Microbiology YR - 2004 UL - http://buscaintegrada.pucsp.br/vufind/Record/pubmed-404431 AB - Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida dried in hydroxyectoine or trehalose are shown to be highly resistant to the organic solvents chloroform and acetone, and consequently, they can be encapsulated in a viable form in solid plastic materials. Bacteria are recovered by rehydration after physical disruption of the plastic. P. putida incorporated into a plastic coating of maize seeds was shown to colonize roots efficiently after germination.
