Many bacteria respond to changes in environmental conditions by entering the viable-but-nonculturable state. We have determined that copper can induce nutrient-starvedAgrobacterium tumefaciens andRhizobium leguminosarum cells to become viable but nonculturable. This is the first report of a chemical inducer of this condition.
