Survival of B. subtilis spores deficient in BsuLigD and/or Nfo AP endonuclease. The assay was performed as described in Materials and Methods. The CFUs of UHV-treated spores were divided with the average CFU-value of untreated spore samples in order to obtain the survival after UHV. The data presented are expressed as average values ± SD, N = 3. Asterisks indicate UHV survival values that were significantly different (P-values ≤ 0.05) from values for wild-type (wt) spores.
