Viable but Nonculturable State of Yeast Candida sp. Strain LN1 Induced by High Phenol Concentrations.

ABSTRACT: Microbial degradation plays an important role in environmental remediation. However, most microorganisms' pollutant-degrading capabilities are weakened due to their entry into a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state. Although there is some evidence for the VBNC state of pollutant-degrading bacteria, limited studies have been conducted to investigate the VBNC state of pollutant degraders among fungi. In this work, the morphological, physiological, and molecular changes of phenol-degrading yeast strain LN1 exposed to high phenol concentrations were investigated. The results confirmed that Candida sp. strain LN1, which possessed a highly efficient capability of degrading 1,000 mg/liter of phenol as well as a high potential for aromatic compound degradation, entered into the VBNC state
