However, the molecular mechanisms governing this transition are not well understood.</p><p>We have recently shown that during starvation in mineral water, Lm progressively transitions to a VBNC state (Fig. 2A-B) (4). Phase contrast microscopy observation revealed that Lm rods become progressively shorter to transform into coccoid forms after 2-3 weeks (Fig. 2C). Cryo-electron tomography (Fig. 2D) and peptidoglycan profiling (not shown) indicated that this transformation is due to a shedding process of the peptidoglycan, resulting in cell wall-deficient bacteria.</p></div>
