Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the effect of the oxidative stress of ozone on the microbial inactivation, cell membrane integrity and permeability and morphology changes of Escherichia coli. METHODS AND RESULTS: Escherichia coli BW 25113 and its isogenic mutants in soxR, soxS, oxyR, rpoS and dnaK genes were treated with ozone at a concentration of 6 μg ml⁻¹ for a period up to 240 s. A significant effect of ozone exposure...
