Strategies of improving desiccation tolerance in non‐sporulating bacteria. Externally added protectants stabilize the cell membrane from outside or can be accumulated in the cell (during cultivation). Stress pre‐conditioning results in intracellular adaptation (e.g. accumulation of protective agents) or secretion of EPS. Co‐cultivation with protectant‐excreting ‘helper’ strains provides external protection (e.g. by EPS).
