Abstract excerpt
The effect of sunlight exposure on Salmonella typhimurium isogenic strains harboring an rpoS gene functional (rpoS+) or not functional (rpoS-) was investigated in microcosms of sterile sea water at 20 degrees C. The two strains rapidly lost their ability to produce colonies on solid culture media. The detrimental action of sunlight was more important when the salinity of sea water increased. The survival of...
