What are Viable but Nonculturable (VBNC) cells and why they pose a threat to public health
Contributed by Narine Arabyan Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state was first discovered in 1982 in the lab of Rita Colwell at University of Maryland. VBNC state in bacteria is induced by many different environmental stresses (nutrient starvation, temperature shifts, … Continue reading
