This may be helpful in explaining its linkage with respect to the prolonged dormancy and its possible role in helping the bacilli while sustaining stress and nutritional deprivation.

Detailed physiological characterization of the actinobacteria is complicated, in part, by the complex morphogenesis exhibited by many species [37] [39], prolonged dormancy or periods of inactivity [40], [41], and, as is the case for K. radiotolerans, extensive cell clumping in artificial growth media (Figure 1).
