Bacteria can exist in different states of dormancy, with persisters and viable-but-nonculturable cells (VBNCs) constituting two modes thought to contribute to infections. Recently, Bollen and colleagues discovered that the state of protein ...
Strain-level variation in microbial symbiosis: lessons from the Siphamia-Photobacterium mandapamensis system [0.03%]
