Abstract excerpt
The resistance to pulsed light (PL) of spores of Bacillus subtilis strain 168 and of strains with mutations increasing sensitivity to UV-C or affecting spore structure was evaluated and compared to resistance to continuous UV-C and moist heat, in order to reveal original mechanisms of inactivation by PL. Spores of B. subtilis strain 168 (1A1) and eight mutant strains (sspA, sspB, sspAB, cotA, gerE, cotE, uvrA and...
