Hi,

    Can anyone tell me if lyophilization affects bacteria's ability to express GFP/RFP? The P. aeruginosa strains we have are tagged with GFP and RFP. We would like to lyophilize the strains. Can the bacteria express the fluorophores upon revival from  lyophilized form?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Deipoo

It should not be a problem.
If you don't know it, then ask it! Better to ask and look foolish to some then not ask and stay stupid.
