Abstract
to the recommended dose level under almost all the stress conditions adopted in the current study. Interestingly, the results also revealed that microencapsulation does not affect the metabolic activity of the entrapped cells and there was no significant difference in production of bioactive compounds between the encapsulated and the unencapsulated cells.
