Grow or survive? If they are growing for a year then they must be metabolizing their lipid reserves and be very efficient. Yeast cells will consume their lipid reserves in less than a day in an aerobic environment for example. |
Mycobacteria are
incredibly efficient growers under starvation conditions. They grow and divide (probably not all year long, but much longer than a day).
