Size and SEM images of mycobacterium encapsulated alginate particles. a and b are the size profile after drying and sonication respectively. c and d show the SEM images of particle aggregates obtained after drying and images of segregated particles are shown in (e and f). The accumulated release of bacteria from a typical formulation is shown in (g). The entire load of bacteria was released within a few hours. h depicts the stability of formulation with time at three different temperature conditions; 4 °C, 40 °C and temperature fluctuation (TF).
