Growth of Bacillus subtilis under deep starvation conditions
The general assumption is that when bacteria run out of nutrients they become dormant or form spores. Here we show, using a new technique, that under deep starvation conditions non-sporulating Bacillus subtilis cells do not become dormant but continue to grow. B. subtilis can form (endo)spores and this has been regarded as the principal mechanism through which it survives long periods of nutrient depletion. However, in this study we demonstrate that non-sporulating B. subtilis cells can survive...

Deep data QC
metadata only · no data-level QC for this typeStandardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained
No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.
