Effect of glass filtered solar radiation and of 2,4 dinitrophenol on growth of Bacillus cereus and on its survival after far-UV irradiation
Description
Effect of 2,4 dinitrophenol (DNP) and of glass filtered solar radiation (GFSR) on growth of B. cereus is similative. Far-UV radiation induce killing in cell suspension of B. cereus. Pretreatment with GFSR and post-treatment with DNP increases the survival of B. cereus irradiated with far-UV. The increase in survival is proportional to the period of growth delay. However, 60 min pretreatment with GFSR causes increase in survival maximally. It is postulated that GFSR impairs the oxidative metabolism of cell by destroying a protein involved in this process.
