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.
