This study was conducted to investigate the ability of cryoprotective chemicals to induce phenotypic cryoadaptation in Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus CIP 101027T. Tolerance to negative temperature stress (freezing at -20 degrees C and thawing at 37 degrees C) was induced by pretreatment with Me(2)SO, glycerol, lactose, sucrose, and trehalose. Interestingly, Me(2)SO has a significantly greater cryoprotective effect than glycerol. Furthermore, lactose, sucrose, and trehalose, often referred to as osmotica, were shown to have greater cryoadaptive than cryoprotective properties. These results suggest that bacteria such as L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus could be phenotypically adapted to freezing and thawing by an osmotic stress applied prior to freeze-thaw stress.
