Association between increased DNA mutational frequency and thermal inactivation of aerosolized Bacillus spores exposed to dry heat

Inactivation of viable bioaerosol particles, especially stress-resistant microorganisms, has important implications for biodefense and air quality control. It has earlier been shown that the loss of viability of bacterial endospores due to exposure to dry heat is associated with mutational damage. P...
