Taking fish out of water : Freeze‐drying can be used to incorporate bacteria in a deep‐eutectic solvent with outstanding preservation of integrity and viability. (Intact E. coli are marked by arrows in the image.) These findings open interesting perspectives for the use of whole microorganisms in biocatalytic processes carried out in nonaqueous solvents.
