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 …

Featured Application The practical aspects of the use of UV technology in dairy processing
are discussed in this paper. The possible area of applications and limitations of UV …

Because Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts are very resistant to conventional water treatment
processes, including chemical disinfection, we determined the kinetics and extent of their …

The sequence of Vibrio cholerae genome revealed three genes belonging to the
photolyase/cryptochrome blue-light photoreceptor family. The proteins encoded by the three …

UV disinfection of viruses frequently leads to tailing after an initial exponential decay.
Aggregation, light shielding, recombination, or resistant virus subpopulations have been …

The pollution of seawater by both biotic (bacteria, viruses) and abiotic contaminants
(biocides, pharmaceutical residues) frequently leads to economic losses in aquaculture …

Alkaline phosphatase has been purified to homogeneity from two strains of Vibrio cholerae.
The enzymes from both strains are single polypeptides of molecular weight 60,000. Both of …

Ballast water (BW) is a dead weight used by ships to provide stability in their journeys. It
poses health, economic and ecological problems. Since 2017, the International Maritime …

A key issue in the ecology of viruses in the marine environment is the rate of viral production
and decay. The ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight has been found to cause loss of …

Aims: In this study, we determined the ability of a promising alternative UV technology–a
polychromatic emission from a medium‐pressure UV (MP UV) technology–to inhibit the …
