title: [Dynamics of the reversible transition of Vibrio cholerae into the uncultivable state in the presence of organic and inorganic microcosmic components].
abstract: The dynamics of the transition of V. cholerae into the uncultivable state in distilled, river and tap water, containing organic and inorganic components added, was studied. As additives, potassium nitrate, potassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, ammonium chloride, lysine, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinic acid, catalase were used. The study of the influence of biotic factors on transition into the uncultivable state was carried out in the presence of one-celled green algae Scenedesmus quadricauda or infusoria Paramecium caudatum. The linear dependence of speed of transition into the uncultivable form on the concentration of cells was noted. The composition of the microcosmic medium was also found to have some influence on the speed of transition into the uncultivable form and on the reversibility of this process. The presence of organic substances, such as peptone solution or destroyed cells of phyto- and zooplankton, in the microcosmic medium prolonged the time of transition into the uncultivable form and produced a positive effect on the capacity of the population to reversion. In respect of live biotic components, no such dependence was found. Inorganic additives prolonged the time of transition into the uncultivable state, but did not promote reversion.
