Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure is the primary etiological agent responsible for
develo** cutaneous malignancies. Avoiding excessive radiation exposure, especially by …

A number of mechanisms are responsible for the resistance of spores of Bacillus species to
heat, radiation and chemicals and for spore killing by these agents. Spore resistance to wet …

This experiment was aimed at establishing, for the first time, the survival capability of lichens
exposed to space conditions. In particular, the damaging effect of various wavelengths of …

From microbes to multicellular eukaryotic organisms, all cells contain pathways responsible
for genome maintenance. DNA replication allows for the faithful duplication of the genome …

Our goal was to ultimately predict the sensitivity of untested bacteria (including those of
biodefense interest) to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In this study, we present an overview and …

Recent developments in preservation technologies allow for the delivery of food with
nutritional value and superior taste. Of special interest are low-acid, shelf-stable foods in …

Dormancy is a bet‐hedging strategy that allows organisms to persist through conditions that
are suboptimal for growth and reproduction by entering a reversible state of reduced …

Spore-forming bacteria are of particular concern in the context of planetary protection
because their tough endospores may withstand certain sterilization procedures as well as …

An ultraviolet (UV)-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) for disinfecting water is
introduced in this paper. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of UV light-emitting …
