text: Yo, check it out, I'm 'bout to drop some knowledge,
  Using flow cytometry to assess and acknowledge,
  The viability of freeze-dried bacteria, that's the aim,
  Comparing plate count techniques, it's all in the game.
  
  Studying the effect of cryoprotectants, you see,
  On Bifidobacterium bifidum, freeze-dried, it's a spree,
  Gotta check if they can survive the GI tract ride,
  Alginate-pectinate beads, the matrix we decide.
  
  Scanning electron microscopy, we check the beads,
  Viability tested, that's what this study needs,
  Glycerol 20% and sodium ascorbate 10%,
  That combo right there, it's a true winner, no lament.
  
  Flow cytometry, it's the way to go, my friend,
  Assessing bacteria viability, we comprehend,
  Plate method and flow cytometry, they correlate,
  Rapid determination, no time to hesitate.
  
  These beads, they hold promise, they're the key,
  Probiotic delivery system, targeting the colon, you see,
  So, keep an eye out, 'cause we're on the right track,
  Using science to improve health, that's a fact.
