Abstract:
Despite significant breakthroughs in the study of microbial physiology, genetics, ecology, and other disciplines related to these fields of science, there are still quite a few "white spots" in this field. The so-called "resting state" of microbial cells leaves great opportunities for researchers. In this review, we have attempted to outline this problem and define its general nature. We have discussed the physiological processes that lead to the transition of microbial cells into various non-culturable states, as well as related terminological issues. We have also outlined the range of medical concerns and the potential for bio-technology. We have attempted to present the material in a way that reflects the historical development of the problem, and therefore, we have not neglected the bibliographic references from a relatively early period.
