Book Synopsis Nonculturable Microorganisms in the Environment by : Colwell
Book excerpt: This text on viable but non-culturable organisms provides information on topics including: morphological changes; the role of membranes; genetics and genetic regulation; molecular methods for detection; as well as survival dominancy and related phenomena. The main purpose of the text is to elucidate the phenomenon and to distinguish it from other seemingly related but different phenomena such as spore formation, dormancy, starvation, and injury. It covers a cross section of morphology, metabolism, genetics, ecology and epidemiology.
