Figure 7. Exit rate of S. cerevisiae S288C from the VBNC.
Total cell counts (♦), culturable counts (▪), and viable counts (▴) are shown. Resuscitation was induced by removal of the molecular SO2 at 21 days after entry into VBNC state. Value 1 corresponds to an undetectable number (less to 10 CFU/mL). The values presented are the average of three replicates of three separate experiments.
