Transition of Vibrio cholerae into the uncultivable state under the conditions of low temperature, different mineralization and illumination of artificial nutrient medium

Research Institute for Plague Control, Rostov-on-Don, Russia

The importance of the combined influence of temperature, mineralization and illumination of the medium on the time of the transition of V.cholerae into the uncultivable state has been shown. The reversion of 5- to 60-day variants of uncultivable forms after the elevation of temperature to 20-22°C has been obtained.
