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 …

Abstract Near-ultraviolet (near-UV) radiation (also called “UV-A”) can be considered to lie in
the wavelength range 320–400 nm. The long-wavelength limit represents the beginning of …

This study examined the microbicidal activity of 222-nm UV radiation (UV222), which is
potentially a safer alternative to the 254-nm UV radiation (UV254) that is often used for …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain Erdman, M. bovis (BCG), and M. phlei showed a 1-to 2-
log drop in viability after exposure to ultraviolet light compared to a 5-log drop over the same …

The effects in microorganisms produced primarily by near-ultraviolet radiation or by radiation
referred to as' UV-A'(320-400 nm) are reviewed from literature published from January 1978 …

Our goal was to derive a quantitative factor that would allow us to predict the solar sensitivity
of vegetative bacterial cells to natural solar radiation from the wealth of data collected for …

Recent bioterrorism concerns have prompted renewed efforts towards understanding the
biology of bacterial spore resistance to radiation with a special emphasis on the spores of …

Dormant spores of gram-positive bacteria, such as the various Bacillus species, usually are
more resistant to killing by ultraviolet light than are growing cells. During the first minutes of …

The microbicidal UV fluence under polychromatic radiation from UV lamps is typically
measured using the DNA absorbance spectrum as a weighting factor for the relative …

This paper represents the third revision of a compilation that goes back to 1999. The original
compilation was an internal document of Trojan Technologies [1]. The first revision was …
