It has been established that the addition of antioxidants: cystamine, ionol, and alpha -tocopherol, to protective media (saccharose-gelatin agar) does not significantly affect the viability of lyophilized cells of cultures Myxococcus xanthus UCM 10041 and Polyangium cellulosum UCM 10043. The results obtained and predicted data on the survival of cells of M. xanthus UCM 10041 and P. cellulosum UCM 10043 are the values of the same order which evidences for the possibility of the use of quick test for prediction of myxobacteria cells survival under long-term storage.
