Lag phase is a dynamic, organized, adaptive, and evolvable period that prepares bacteria for cell division

RL Bertrand - Journal of bacteriology, 2019 - Am Soc Microbiol
Lag is a temporary period of nonreplication seen in bacteria that are introduced to new
media. Despite latency being described by Müller in 1895, only recently have we gained …

Drought impacts on microbial trait distribution and feedback to soil carbon cycling
