Fig. 4. Cryoprotective effect of rsfAFP on S. thermophilus.

Fig. 4

A The survival rate of S. thermophilus after freezing at −20 °C for 24 h and 2 freezing–thawing cycles with various cryoprotectants. B S. thermophilus metabolic activity; C acid production of S. thermophilus with different cryoprotectants; D S. thermophilus growth with various cryoprotectants at different freezing times. The concentration of rsfAFP was 0.1 mg/mL. 20 mM PBS was used as a negative control; 15% glycerol, 1.0 mg/mL sucrose, and 1.0 mg/mL skim milk were used as the positive controls.
