Abstract excerpt
AIM: To develop an inactivation kinetic model to describe ultraviolet (UV) dose-response behaviour for micro-organisms that exhibit tailing using two commonly referenced causes for tailing: physical shielding of micro-organisms and phenotypic persistence. METHODS AND RESULTS: Dose-response data for Escherichia coli, Mycobacterium terrae and Bacillus subtilis spores exposed to UV radiation were fit to the...
