Isolation, stability, and characteristics of high-pressure superdormant Bacillus subtilis spores.

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial spores are a major challenge in industrial decontamination processes owing to their extreme resistance. High-pressure (HP) of 150 MPa at 37 °C can trigger the germination of spores, making them lose their extreme resistance. Once their resistance is lost, germinated spores can easily be inactivated by a mild decontamination step. The implementation of this gentle germination-inactivation strategy is...
