• Main Groups of Microorganisms of Relevance for Food Safety and Stability (2017, background): “Three basic mechanisms have been attributed to the inactivation of spores: (1) DNA degradation by UV radiation, (2) volatilization of compounds of the spore surface by UV photons, and (3) erosion of the spore surface by the adsorption of reactive molecules as free radicals (Philip et al., 2002).”
• Physical Mechanisms of Inactivation of Bacillus subtilis Spores Using Cold Atmospheric Plasmas (2006, background): “While these five physical quantities have long been linked to the microbial inactivation, such an association has so far been too general and nonspecific [2], [3], [5].”
