Description and Table of Contents
Description
Many bacteria in the environment exist in a 'viable but not culturable' state, sometimes even dominant and not yet possible to culture in the laboratory. This book presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive discussion of this remarkable phenomenon available. From a historic overview to the cutting-edge future of the field, it highlights the wide implications of the VBNC state in medicine, public health, environmental science, agriculture and biotechnology
