Resumo: 	The effects of different environmental factors (nutrient deprivation, hyperosmotic shock, exposure to light) on enteric bacteria which have been transferred into the marine environment, have been studied experimentally (microcosms) by considering demographic, physiological and genetic responses in Escherichia coli or Salmonella typhimurium populations. Short-term experiments (less than or equal to 48 h) showed that nutrient deprivation induced limited changes in measured bacteriological variables, but when combined with hyperosmotic shock, it results in an energy charge decrease and inactivation of membrane transport. Light exposure mainly affects the colony-forming capacity of bacterial populations. Combining different stress factors confirmed the rapid appearance of a viable, but nonculturable state (VBNC) in populations of E. coli and S. typhimurium. It has been shown that cellular forms other than those previously described in the literature can be generated following incubation in seawater. It was also established that pre-adaptation phenomena may occur, leading to better survival (e.g. pre-incubation in seawater in darkness enhanced survival under light exposure). An explanation concerning these phenomena can be found by looking at the rpoS gene which controls the expression of numerous genes and can trigger a general anti-stress response under different adverse conditions. Although the results provide better comprehension of the fate of enteric bacteria in the marine environment, they also raise numerous questions related to fundamental and applied problems, given in the conclusion of this paper.
