Abstract
The mechanisms of formation of persisting cells in planktonic and structured microbial populations are considered. The relations between persistence and adaptive mutagenesis are discussed. Persisting cells are suggested to be among the major objects of adaptive mutagenesis and act as an instrument of the microevolution processes in microbial biofilms.
