The Agnolucci et al. (2010) study did not provide a method or data for resuscitating the VBNC ''Brettanomyces'' cells so that they can again divide and grow colonies, and this has been criticized because resuscitation of VBNC cells is considered an important aspect of strengthening the conclusion that the cells are indeed VBNC. Serpaggi et al. (2012) found similar results with using 0.8 mg/L of molecular SO₂, which resulted in all ''Brettanomyces'' cells from one wine strain to not be culturable on YPD after being incubated in synthetic wine medium that was supplemented with SO₂ for 2 days, while the viability of the cells remained high for as long as 11 days (they did not check viability after 11 days, and the viability count remained constant from day 2 to day 11; viability was determined by staining with fluorescein diacetate which stains when certain metabolic esterase activity is present). They were able to resuscitate the cells by adding NaOH to the media to bring the pH up from 3.5 to 4.0 in order to effectively eliminate the molecular sulfur dioxide (molecular SO₂ is the only form of SO₂ that is significantly effective at inhibiting microbes, and it is only stable at very low pH's). They noted that VBNC cells were about 20% smaller in size than culturable cells. The cells in the VBNC state did not produce 4EG phenol but did produce a very small amount of 4EP phenol <ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22365358 Characterization of the "viable but nonculturable" (VBNC) state in the wine spoilage yeast Brettanomyces.
