Abstract
The potential of intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy to detect and dif ferentiate viable but nonculturable bacteria in the presence of cultur able bacteria was explored, Escherichia coli cells, starved for 210 da ys in nutrient-free normal saline, show new fluorescence emissions nea r 400 and 440 nm, and reduced emission near 340 nm.
