Abstract excerpt
The marine bacterium Vibrio fluvialis NCTC11328 responded to nutrient depletion by a reduction in cell volume, and this was prevented by conditions that eliminated respiration as a source of energy. Addition of the protonophore, CCCP, removal of oxygen and introduction of mutations leading to defects of the respiratory chain prevented size reduction during periods of nutrient limitation. Further, survival of the...
