Effect of desiccation on recovery of viable cells after extended exposure to high temperatures. Desiccated M. barkeri cells were incubated at 20°C (●), 55°C (■), and 90°C (▲), and survival based on an MPN estimation of viable cells per gram (dry weight) of cell material was determined over time. Values are means and standard deviations for four replicate culture samples.
