Understanding of the importance of the spore coat structure and pigmentation in the <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> spore resistance to low-pressure plasma sterilization
2016-06-15
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Low-pressure plasmas have been evaluated for their potential in biomedical and defense purposes. The sterilizing effect of plasma can be attributed to several active agents, including (V)UV radiation, charged particles, radical species, neutral and excited atoms and molecules, and the electric field. Spores of Bacillus subtilis were used as a bioindicator and a genetic model system to study the sporicidal...
