Comparison and Validation of Cryopreservation Methods of Candida Genus Fungi: A Brief Review

Abstract

Cryopreservation is a freezing technique that prevents the microorganism’s genetic material from carrying out possible reactivations. This method commonly requires cryoprotectants to minimize the possible damage that freezing can cause. The current article seeks to evaluate the efficiency and viability of cryopreservation of fungi from the genus Candida, aiming at the best technique. The method was based on searching articles related to the analyzed theme and their ratifications. Thus, with the bibliographic survey, it was possible to conclude the most executable method among the three most used.
