Spirulina platensis NIES-46 was observed during freeze-thawing under an optical microscope. Based on the observation, viability of the algae was assessed after freeze-thawing for the purpose of establishment of cryopreservation protocol. It was considered that different results obtained with the different drying and cooling conditions can be explained by taking the trichome structure of the algae and the membrane permeation of dimethyl sulfoxide used as a cryoprotectant into consideration.
