The rehydration of desiccated colonies led to marked, time-dependent changes in structure and ultrastructure and fluctuations in the composition of the transcriptome. Physical evaporative water loss is an active process that was influenced by inhibitors of transcription and translation.5679 - 5684 (6) page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightBiotechnology & Applied MicrobiologyMicrobiologyDESICCATION TOLERANCERESISTANTArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.69.9.5679-5684.2003699
