| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bacteria of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) conditions cannot be detected by general culture methods, but it became apparent that under certain conditions, it is possible to resuscitate to the culturable state. In this study, we investigated the effect of salt concentration on transition of Vibrio cholerae O139 and V. parahaemolyticus to VBNC state and resuscitation to a culturable state.
As the results, it became clear that salt concentration is one of the important factors for transition to VBNC state and resuscitation to the culturable state.
