Understanding the Effects of High Pressure on Bacterial Spores Using Synchrotron Infrared Spectroscopy. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2019 Bacterial spores are extremely resistant life-forms that play an important role in food spoilage and foodborne disease. The return of spores to a vegetative cell state is a three-step process, these being activation, germination, and emergence.
