Abstract
Provided herein is a method for producing a lyophilized composition of viable cells ofbacteria having high viable cell viability, and a lyophilized composition of viable cells ofbacteria having desirable long-storage survivability, among others. The lyophilized composition of viable cells ofbacteria having high viable cell viability and desirable long-storage survivability can be obtained when a composition containing viable cells ofbacteria and more than 10 mass % moisture is lyophilized to bring the moisture content to 10 mass %, and the drying is ended before the moisture content becomes less than 5 mass % so that the composition after the lyophilization contains the viable bacteria and 5 to 10 mass % of moisture.
