Inactivation of listeria monocytogenes by pulsed uv illumination and photorepair recovery of uv-damaged cells

Abstract

The work presented in this thesis is concerned with an investigation of the effects of ultraviolet radiation on the inactivation and on the subsequent photorepair(photoreactivation) of UV-damage by exposure to longer wavelength light of Listeria monocytogenes NCTC 11994 (serotype 4b).
