Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacteria refers as to bacteria that are in a state of very low metabolic activity and do not divide, but are alive and have the ability to become culturable once resuscitated.

Abstract: Viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state is a dormant-like state of bacteria, and many species of bacteria can enter into this state when suffering stress conditions. VBNC bacterial cells can resuscitate to culturable state and recover their …

2023年10月1日 · As a unique microbial response to adverse circumstances, the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state is characterized by the loss of culturability of microbial cells on/in nutrient media that normally support their growth, while maintaining metabolic activity. These cells can resuscitate to a culturable state under suitable conditions.

In this review, we describe various aspects of VBNC bacteria, which include their proteomic and genetic profiles under the VBNC state, conditions of resuscitation, methods of detection, antibiotic resistance, and observations on Rpf.

2023年12月25日 · This review explores the concept of the VBNC state, providing insights into the beneficial bacteria known to employ this strategy. The investigation covers different chemical and physical factors that can induce the latency state, cell features, and gene expression observed in cells in the VBNC state.

2023年9月28日 · The viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state is a persistence strategy adopted by bacteria to withstand long-lasting periods of unfavorable conditions. VBNC cells evade classical detection methods and are therefore easily transmitted in the …

The viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state is a survival strategy for bacteria when encountered with unfavorable conditions. Under favorable environments such as nutrient supplementation, external stress elimination, or supplementation with ...

2023年5月23日 · Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) cells are characterized by their loss of culturability, ability to maintain a nonculturable state, and potential to resuscitate. The formation of VBNC cells can occur under a wider range of stress conditions, many of which are moderate and long-term in nature.

The viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state has been recognized as a strategy for bacteria to cope with stressful environments; in this state, bacteria fail to grow on routine culture medium but are actually alive and can resuscitate into a culturable state under favorable conditions.

Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) cells are characterized by their loss of culturability, ability to maintain a nonculturable state, and potential to resuscitate. The formation of VBNC cells can occur under a wider range of stress conditions, many of …
