TL;DR: This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the presence of viable but nonculturable bacteria and yet-to-be-cultivated cells in nature and their diverse awakening strategies in response to signalling extracellular metabolites and the potential applications of these hidden players in rehabilitation processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central Role of the Cell in Microbial Ecology
TL;DR: It becomes important to evaluate population-wide measurements carefully in the light of single-cell individuality and genome heterogeneity, and the cell as a central unit for understanding processes on a community level is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individuality, phenotypic differentiation, dormancy and ‘persistence’ in culturable bacterial systems: commonalities shared by environmental, laboratory, and clinical microbiology
TL;DR: Data is brought together that suggests that many supposedly non-communicable, chronic and inflammatory diseases are exacerbated by the presence of dormant or persistent bacteria, and that measures designed to assess and to inhibit or remove such organisms (or their access to iron) might be of much therapeutic benefit.

Electing a candidate: A speculative history of the bacterial phylum OP10
Peter F. Dunfield,Ivica Tamas,Kevin Lee,Kevin Lee,Xochitl C. Morgan,Ian R. McDonald,Matthew B. Stott +6 more
TL;DR: Construction of a highly resolved phylogeny based on 29 universally conserved genes verifies the phylum's standing as a unique bacterial phylum, the Armatimonadetes.

Study of Bacterial Community Composition and Correlation of Environmental Variables in Rambla Salada, a Hypersaline Environment in South-Eastern Spain.
TL;DR: The dilution-to-extinction technique could be a complementary method to classical culture based method, but neither gets to cultivate the major taxa detected by DGGE.
