Concerted efforts to study starvation and survival of
nondifferentiating vegeta tive heterotrophic bacteria have been
made with various degrees of intensity, in different bacteria and
contexts, over more than the last 30 years. As with bacterial
growth in natural ecosystem conditions, these research efforts have
been intermittent, with rather long periods of limited or no
production in between. While several important and well-received
reviews and proceedings on the topic of this monograph have been
published during the last three to four decades, the last few years
have seen a marked increase in reviews on starvation survival in
non-spore-forming bacteria. This increase reflects a realization
that the biology of bacteria in natural conditions is generally not
that of logarithmic growth and that we have very limited
information on the physiology of the energy-and nutrient-limited
phases of the life cyde of the bacterial cello The growing interest
in nongrowing bacteria also sterns from the more recent advances on
the molecular basis of the starvation-induced nongrowing bacterial
cello The identification of starvation-specific gene and protein re
sponders in Escherichia coli as weIl as other bacterial species has
provided molecular handles for our attempts to decipher the
"differentiation-like" responses and programs that
nondifferentiating bacteria exhibit on nutrient limited growth
arrest. Severallaboratories have contributed greatly to the
progress made in life after-log research."
