I should of elaborated, many of the issues associated with,"conventional hibernation"
have to do with lethal infections aquired
externaly while hibernating, damp, cold, ....mold
as to the cryoprotectants ,side protecting microbes, clearly gut microbes and other internal flora ,would benifit......but ,big but, would a sneeky cryosuspension routine also include a freeze and clense
cycle?, why not!
and easy enough to verify,right!
I wonder what happens to the gut bacteria ? Do they also freeze and get thawed ? If so, are those bacterium also having a special adaptation, or is it a function of the host ?
