Abstract The levels of intracellular adenine nucleotides, energy charge, oxygen consumption and poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid stored, have been investigated in dry vegetative cells and cysts of Azotobacter vinelandii. The data show that under desiccation conditions the cysts retain viability at energy charge values of 0.20 and an ATP/ADP ratio of 0.24, whereas under the same desiccation conditions, vegetative cells die at energy charge values 〈0.5 and an ATP/ADP ratio of 〈0.6.
