The writing is just bad, info could be organized better, informal tone for a textbook. The general lack of clarity is the biggest problem.By dianerdoll
Ex: "Under stressful conditions, some bacterial species can produce cells that stop dividing (remain in the B period of the cell cycle) but maintain a very low rate of metabolism. These, so-called persister cells, are spontaneously and naturally produced during the log phase of growth and are not the result of unfavorable environmental change"
This doesn't make sense, it states a general phenomenon and then gives an example that doesn't fit. If persister cells are produced under favorable conditions, how is that an example of cells that stop dividing under stressful conditions? It doesn't go on to clarify and there are confusing statements like this throughout the book. I googled persister cells, and asked my professor about this too, apparently there is disagreement on whether stressful conditions directly cause dormant cells to form. The textbook should state that there are opposing thoughts on this, not juxtapose the 2 opposing thoughts with no explanation.
