Glucose‐starved cells of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were compared with non‐starved counterparts with respects to heat, osmotic, and oxidative challenges. The starved cells demonstrated greater thermal and oxidative resistance than did the non‐starved cells. The starved cells also showed greater resistance against low osmotic challenge than did the non‐starved cells although both cells showed a comparable resistance against high osmotic challenge.
