The physiological responses of populations of a marine
Pseudomonas sp. to nutrient starvation were observed for a period
of 40 days. During the first 25 days of starvation the viability
of the population decreased by 99.9 percent, but thereafter the
cultures maintained approximately 5 x 10⁵ viable cells per ml...
The starvation-survival patterns of 16 freshly isolated open
ocean bacteria and in a psychrophilic Vibrio sp., Ant-300, were
determined. These isolates displayed three survival patterns as
determined by viable cell count. These were (a) a rapid increase
followed by a decrease to a constant value (pattern of Ant-300 and
7...
