Abstract
⺠Bacteria are subjected to drying in the presence or absence of supplements. ⺠Viability and fitness are assessed using a multiparameter viability assay. ⺠Presence of magnesium chloride during desiccation greatly reduces viability. ⺠Presence of extracellular polysaccharides during desiccation increases viability. ⺠Fluorescent assays offer greater resolution than plate counting for moderate stress.
