Viability of freeze-dried alginate-microspheres of cells (gray filled circle), and freeze-dried free cells (black filled circle) of L. fermentum D12, exposed to simulated GIT conditions (arrow indicates changed conditions: after 2 h incubation in simulated gastric fluid at pH = 2.0; 4 h incubation in the simulated intestinal fluid at pH = 8.3 was performed). Results are expressed as mean values of three independent experiments and error bars represent standard deviations
