Inactivation of wet or dry B. subtilis spores of various strains by scCO2-PAA. Wet or dry spores of strains PS533 (wild-type), PS3328 (cotE), PS578 (α−β−) and PS2318 (recA) were treated with scCO2-PAA (1 ml NovaKill™ Gen2 reagent), and spore inactivation was determined as described in Methods. Data are the averages and standard deviations of triplicate determinations, and for dry spores have been corrected for spore recovery with no scCO2-PAA treatment. The symbols in the bars for the different treatment regimens are: horizontal lines, 20 min treatment of wet spores; black and white squares, 30 min treatment of wet spores; and vertical lines, 3 h treatment of dry spores.
