Interaction of Meloidogyne javanica and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri was studied on Fusarium wilt-susceptible (JG 62 and K 850) and resistant (JG 74 and Avrodhi) chickpea cultivars. In greenhouse experiments, inoculation of M. javanica juveniles prior to F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri caused greater wilt incidence in susceptible cultivars and induced vascular discoloration in roots of resistant cultivars. Nematode reproduction was greatest (P = 0.05) at 25 °C. Number of galls and percentage of root area galled increased when the temperature was increased from 15 °C to 25 °C. Wilt incidence was greater at 20 °C than at 25 °C. Chlorosis of leaves and vascular discoloration of plants did not occur at 15 °C. The nematode enhanced the wilt incidence in wilt-susceptible cultivars only at 25 °C. Interaction between the two pathogens on shoot and root weights was significant only at 20 °C, and F. o. ciceri suppressed the nematode density at this temperature. Wilt incidence was greater in clayey (48% clay) than in loamy sand (85% sand) soils. The nematode caused greater plant damage on loamy sand than on clayey soil. Fusarium wilt resistance in Avrodhi and JG 74 was stable in the presence of M. javanica across temperatures and soil types. 相似文献

Nostoc sp. colonies from field collections were cultured and propagated on silica sand with aqueous N-free BG-11 medium. Laboratory experiments were conducted to characterize the in vivo freeze-recovery physiology of nitrogenase activity. Nitrogenase activity was monitored by the acetylene reduction technique. Frozen Nostoc sp. colonies were thawed and warmed to 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30°C. At 25 and 30°C, nitrogenase activity was detected within 6 h after thawing. At 20°C or lower, nitrogenase activity was not detected until 12 h after thawing. Optimum thawing temperature with respect to the recovery of nitrogenase activity was 25°C. In subsequent experiments, laboratory-grown Nostoc colonies were used along with the following conditions: prefreezing treatment of 3 days of exposure to light or darkness, freezing, and then thawing to 25°C in light or darkness with or without metabolic inhibitors [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea (DCMU), monofluoroacetate, or chloramphenicol]. Approximately 30% of the energy in the initial recovery of nitrogenase activity (to 12 h after thawing) appeared to be supplied via the utilization of carbon compounds stored before freezing. Photosynthetic conditions (i.e., light and without DCMU) were necessary for maximum recovery of nitrogenase activity. In the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitor chloramphenicol, nitrogenase activity was still detected at 12 to 48 h after thawing. Although damage may occur to nitrogenase, some of the enzyme was capable of surviving the freeze-thaw period in vivo. However, complete recovery of nitrogenase activity (equal to prefreezing activity) may entail some de novo synthesis of nitrogenase. 相似文献

The temperature coefficient of photosynthesis in Ulva (between 17° and 27°C.) is 1.81. This may be explained by assuming that the process involves a light reaction with a low coefficient followed by an ordinary reaction with a high coefficient. 相似文献

The short-term effects of temperature on methanogenesis from acetate or CO2 in a thermophilic (58°C) anaerobic digestor were studied by incubating digestor sludge at different temperatures with 14C-labeled methane precursors (14CH3COO− or 14CO2). During a period when Methanosarcina sp. was numerous in the sludge, methanogenesis from acetate was optimal at 55 to 60°C and was completely inhibited at 65°C. A Methanosarcina culture isolated from the digestor grew optimally on acetate at 55 to 58°C and did not grow or produce methane at 65°C. An accidental shift of digestor temperature from 58 to 64°C during this period caused a sharp decrease in gas production and a large increase in acetate concentration within 24 h, indicating that the aceticlastic methanogens in the digestor were the population most susceptible to this temperature increase. During a later period when Methanothrix sp. was numerous in the digestor, methanogenesis from 14CH3COO− was optimal at 65°C and completely inhibited at 75°C. A partially purified Methanothrix enrichment culture derived from the digestor had a maximum growth temperature near 70°C. Methanogenesis from 14CO2 in the sludge was optimal at 65°C and still proceeded at 75°C. A CO2-reducing Methanobacterium sp. isolated from the digestor was capable of methanogenesis at 75°C. During the period when Methanothix sp. was apparently dominant, sludge incubated for 24 h at 65°C produced more methane than sludge incubated at 60°C, and no acetate accumulated at 65°C. Methanogenesis was severely inhibited in sludge incubated at 70°C, but since neither acetate nor H2 accumulated, production of these methanogenic substrates by fermentative bacteria was probably the most temperature-sensitive process. Thus, there was a correlation between digestor performance at different temperatures and responses to temperature by cultures of methanogens believed to play important roles in the digestor. 相似文献

The photosynthetic rates in two psychrophilic diatoms, Chaetoceros sp. strain K3-10 and Nitzschia sp. K3-3 for cells grown at 0°C were 8 to 10 microliters O2 evolved per milligram dry weight per hour, and 10-fold higher, about 80 for cells grown at 10°C. The respiration rates followed the same pattern, with a value of around 1 microliter dark uptake per milligram dry weight per hour for both organisms grown at 0°C, and 6 to 10 for cells grown at 10°C. When cells grown at 0°C were immediately shifted to 10°C or cells grown at 10°C were shifted to 0°C, the respiratory rates quickly adapted to values characteristic of cells grown at the shift temperature. On the other hand, the light-saturated rate of O2 evolution showed much less immediate adaptation, especially on the up shift, 0° to 10°C. The chlorophyll a content of 0°C grown cells was about 0.5% of dry weight, in 10°C grown cells 1.3% (strain K3-10) and 2.2% (strain K3-3). In addition to a diminished chlorophyll a content in 0°C grown cells, there seemed proportionally (by absorbance and calculation) less c to a than in 10°C grown cells. The relative fluorescence excitation spectra of 680-nm emission also showed a lower contribution by both chlorophyll c and fucoxanthin in 0°C grown cells of Chaetoceros sp. strain K3-10 as compared to 10°C grown cells. The data at hand suggest that in psychrophilic diatoms continuously growing at 0°C there may be problems associated with synthesis of an effective accessory pigment system, and as a working hypothesis it is suggested this is related to restriction of synthesis of one or several accessory pigment proteins. 相似文献

Background and Aims
The importance of thermal thresholds for predicting seed dormancy release and germination timing under the present climate conditions and simulated climate change scenarios was investigated. In particular, Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris was investigated in four Sardinian populations over the full altitudinal range of the species (from approx. 100 to 800 m a.s.l).Methods
Dried and fresh seeds from each population were incubated in the light at a range of temperatures (10–25 and 25/10 °C), without any pre-treatment and after a warm (3 months at 25 °C) or a cold (3 months at 5 °C) stratification. A thermal time approach was then applied to the germination results for dried seeds and the seed responses were modelled according to the present climate conditions and two simulated scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): B1 (+1·8 °C) and A2 (+3·4 °C).Key Results
Cold stratification released physiological dormancy, while very few seeds germinated without treatments or after warm stratification. Fresh, cold-stratified seeds germinated significantly better (>80 %) at temperatures ≥20 °C than at lower temperatures. A base temperature for germination (Tb) of 9·0–11·3 °C and a thermal time requirement for 50 % of germination (θ50) ranging from 33·6 °Cd to 68·6 °Cd were identified for non-dormant cold-stratified seeds, depending on the populations. This complex combination of thermal requirements for dormancy release and germination allowed prediction of field emergence from March to May under the present climatic conditions for the investigated populations.Conclusions
The thermal thresholds for seed germination identified in this study (Tb and θ50) explained the differences in seed germination detected among populations. Under the two simulated IPCC scenarios, an altitude-related risk from climate warming is identified, with lowland populations being more threatened due to a compromised seed dormancy release and a narrowed seed germination window. 相似文献7.

The phase behavior of thylakoid polar lipids from plants sensitive to chilling injury was investigated by calorimetry, electron spin resonance spectroscopy of spin labels, and fluorescence intensity after labeling with trans-parinaric acid. The plants used were oleander (Nerium oleander), mung bean (Vigna radiata L. var Mungo), and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv Grosse Lisse). For all plants the initiation temperature for the calorimetric exotherm was coincident (±1°C) with the transition determined by the increase in the temperature coefficient of spin label motion and fluorescence intensity of trans-parinaric acid. For oleander plants, grown at 45°C, the transition was at 7°C while for plants from the same clone, grown at 20°C, it was at −2°C. For mung bean and tomato the transition was between 9 and 12°C. The similarity in the transition detected by spin labeling and fluorescence intensity suggest that spin labels, like the fluorescent label trans-parinaric acid, preferentially partition into domains of ordered lipid. The coincidence of the temperature for initiation of the transition, determined by the three techniques, shows that each is a valid method of assessing a phase transition in membrane polar lipids. 相似文献

Purpose
Storage of cultured human oral keratinocytes (HOK) allows for transportation of cultured transplants to eye clinics worldwide. In a previous study, one-week storage of cultured HOK was found to be superior with regard to viability and morphology at 12°C compared to 4°C and 37°C. To understand more of how storage temperature affects cell phenotype, gene expression of HOK before and after storage at 4°C, 12°C, and 37°C was assessed.Materials and Methods
Cultured HOK were stored in HEPES- and sodium bicarbonate-buffered Minimum Essential Medium at 4°C, 12°C, and 37°C for one week. Total RNA was isolated and the gene expression profile was determined using DNA microarrays and analyzed with Partek Genomics Suite software and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Differentially expressed genes (fold change > 1.5 and P < 0.05) were identified by one-way ANOVA. Key genes were validated using qPCR.Results
Gene expression of cultures stored at 4°C and 12°C clustered close to the unstored control cultures. Cultures stored at 37°C displayed substantial change in gene expression compared to the other groups. In comparison with 12°C, 2,981 genes were differentially expressed at 37°C. In contrast, only 67 genes were differentially expressed between the unstored control and the cells stored at 12°C. The 12°C and 37°C culture groups differed most significantly with regard to the expression of differentiation markers. The Hedgehog signaling pathway was significantly downregulated at 37°C compared to 12°C.Conclusion
HOK cultures stored at 37°C showed considerably larger changes in gene expression compared to unstored cells than cultured HOK stored at 4°C and 12°C. The changes observed at 37°C consisted of differentiation of the cells towards a squamous epithelium-specific phenotype. Storing cultured ocular surface transplants at 37°C is therefore not recommended. This is particularly interesting as 37°C is the standard incubation temperature used for cell culture. 相似文献9.

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in highly purified extracts of rose achenes (Rosa rugosa var rubra) was quantified by means of ion-pair reversephase high performance liquid chromatography with spectrofluorimetric detection. Changes in IAA content were determined during a 14-week 4°C stratification, which leads to dormancy breakage, and during subsequent germination at 17°C. IAA was also determined in achenes stratified in parallel at 17°C, which does not induce release from dormancy. IAA decreased during the first 2 weeks of stratification both at 4°C and at 17°C. IAA remained low during the remaining 12 weeks of stratification at 4°C, whereas it continued to decrease in achenes kept at 17°C. An immediate increase in IAA during germination was followed by transients in the IAA level. The results suggest that IAA is without a regulating role in dormancy release although it seems to be involved in the germination process. 相似文献

On the basis of field and culture investigations, five species of the genera Trentepohlia and Printzina were found to occur in urban habitats in western Ireland: Trentepohlia abietina (Flotow) Hansgirg, T. aurea (Linnaeus) Martius, T. iolithus (Linnaeus) Wallroth, T. cf. umbrina (Kützing) Bornet, and Printzina lagenifera (Hildebrandt) Thompson et Wujek. These species formed perennial populations on a variety of substrata. T. abietina occurred on bark of trees; T. cf. umbrina occurred on stone walls; and P. lagenifera grew on several substrata, mainly cement and asbestos sheeting. T. aurea and T. iolithus were found on old concrete and cement walls; in particular, the latter species formed characteristic, extensive, deep‐red patches on many buildings. In culture, best growth and reproduction of these species were observed at 10 and 15° C, 16:8 h light:dark. Both in culture and in the field, reproduction took place by release of biflagellate swarmers behaving as asexual spores, germinating to produce new plants without any evidence of sexual fusion; release of biflagellate swarmers in the field was generally observed in all seasons throughout a whole annual cycle. Confirmation of the occurrence of sexual reproduction in Trentepohlia was not obtained. 相似文献

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently mandated a warning statement on packaged fruit juices not treated to reduce target pathogen populations by 5 log10 units. This study describes combinations of intervention treatments that reduced concentrations of mixtures of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (strains ATCC 43895, C7927, and USDA-FSIS-380-94) or Salmonella typhimurium DT104 (DT104b, U302, and DT104) by 5 log10 units in apple cider with a pH of 3.3, 3.7, and 4.1. Treatments used were short-term storage at 4, 25, or 35°C and/or freeze-thawing (48 h at −20°C; 4 h at 4°C) of cider with or without added organic acids (0.1% lactic acid, sorbic acid [SA], or propionic acid). Treatments more severe than those for S. typhimurium DT104 were always required to destroy E. coli O157:H7. In pH 3.3 apple cider, a 5-log10-unit reduction in E. coli O157:H7 cell numbers was achieved by freeze-thawing or 6-h 35°C treatments. In pH 3.7 cider the 5-log10-unit reduction followed freeze-thawing combined with either 6 h at 4°C, 2 h at 25°C, or 1 h at 35°C or 6 h at 35°C alone. A 5-log10-unit reduction occurred in pH 4.1 cider after the following treatments: 6 h at 35°C plus freeze-thawing, SA plus 12 h at 25°C plus freeze-thawing, SA plus 6 h at 35°C, and SA plus 4 h at 35°C plus freeze-thawing. Yeast and mold counts did not increase significantly (P < 0.05) during the 6-h storage at 35°C. Cider with no added organic acids treated with either 6 h at 35°C, freeze-thawing or their combination was always preferred by consumers over pasteurized cider (P < 0.05). The simple, inexpensive intervention treatments described in the present work could produce safe apple cider without pasteurization and would not require the FDA-mandated warning statement. 相似文献

The abilities of two races of Arabidopsis thaliana L. (Heyn), Landsberg erecta and Columbia, to cold harden were examined. Landsberg, grown at 22 to 24°C, increased in freezing tolerance from an initial 50% lethal temperature (LT50) of about −3°C to an LT50 of about −6°C after 24 hours at 4°C; LT50 values of −8 to −10°C were achieved after 8 to 9 days at 4°C. Similar increases in freezing tolerance were obtained with Columbia. In vitro translation of poly(A+) RNA isolated from control and cold-treated Columbia showed that low temperature induced changes in the population of translatable mRNAs. An mRNA encoding a polypeptide of about 160 kilodaltons (isoelectric point about 4.5) increased markedly after 12 to 24 h at 4°C, as did mRNAs encoding four polypeptides of about 47 kilodaltons (isoelectric points ranging from 5-5.5). Incubation of Columbia callus tissue at 4°C also resulted in increased levels of the mRNAs encoding the 160 kilodalton polypeptide and at least two of the 47 kilodalton polypeptides. In vivo labeling experiments using Columbia plants and callus tissue indicated that the 160 kilodalton polypeptide was synthesized in the cold and suggested that at least two of the 47 kilodalton polypeptides were produced. Other differences in polypeptide composition were also observed in the in vivo labeling experiments, some of which may be the result of posttranslational modifications of the 160 and 47 kilodalton polypeptides. 相似文献

A wealth of studies has investigated how chemical sensitivity is affected by temperature, however, almost always under different constant rather than more realistic fluctuating regimes. Here we compared how the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans responds to copper at constant temperatures (8–24°C) and under fluctuation conditions of low (±4°C) and high (±8°C) amplitude (averages of 12, 16, 20°C and 16°C respectively). The DEBkiss model was used to interpret effects on energy budgets. Increasing constant temperature from 12–24°C reduced time to first egg, life-span and population growth rates consistent with temperature driven metabolic rate change. Responses at 8°C did not, however, accord with this pattern (including a deviation from the Temperature Size Rule), identifying a cold stress effect. High amplitude variation and low amplitude variation around a mean temperature of 12°C impacted reproduction and body size compared to nematodes kept at the matching average constant temperatures. Copper exposure affected reproduction, body size and life-span and consequently population growth. Sensitivity to copper (EC50 values), was similar at intermediate temperatures (12, 16, 20°C) and higher at 24°C and especially the innately stressful 8°C condition. Temperature variation did not increase copper sensitivity. Indeed under variable conditions including time at the stressful 8°C condition, sensitivity was reduced. DEBkiss identified increased maintenance costs and increased assimilation as possible mechanisms for cold and higher copper concentration effects. Model analysis of combined variable temperature effects, however, demonstrated no additional joint stressor response. Hence, concerns that exposure to temperature fluctuations may sensitise species to co-stressor effects seem unfounded in this case. 相似文献

The effect of temperature on the infection of larvae of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, by Heterorhabditis megidis H90 and Steinernema carpocapsae strain All, was determined. For both species, infection, reproduction, and development were fastest at 20 to 24 °C. Infection by both H. megidis and S. carpocapsae occurred between 8 and 16 °C; however, neither species reproduced at 8 °C. Among the nematodes used in experiments at 8 °C, no H. megidis and very few S. carpocapsae developed beyond the infective juvenile stage. Compared with H. megidis, S. carpocapsae invaded and killed G. mellonella larvae faster at 8 to 16 °C. By comparing invasion rates, differences in infectivity between the two nematode species were detected that could not be detected in conventional petri dish bioassays where mortality was measured after a specified period. Invasion of G. mellonella larvae by H. megidis was faster at 24 than at 16 °C. 相似文献

Two different genetic strains of stalked-Ulva (Ulvales, Chlorophyta) grow on intertidal rocky shores in Ebisujima, central Japan 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Stalked‐Ulva has been recognized as an ecologic form of Ulva pertusa Kjellman with narrow and extensive stipes that grows on rocky shores with strong wave action. However, it is possible that stalked‐Ulva includes more than two taxa, because it has been shown previously that some isolates of stalked‐Ulva did not cross with U. pertusa. Therefore, further crossing tests, observations of swarmer behavior, culture studies and comparison of DNA sequences were made to clarify whether or not all stalked‐Ulva are included within U. pertusa. Crossing tests showed that stalked‐Ulva contained two different types, one that crossed with U. pertusa (Up strain) and one (N strain) that did not. The biflagellate swarmers of N strains showed negative phototaxis and were slightly larger than male and female gametes of Up strains. Thalli cultured from the swarmers of N strains released the same type of swarmers again. The N strains have an asexual life history, reproducing solely by biflagellate swarmers. Internal transcriber spacer sequence analysis indicated that these two entities are U. pertusa (Up strain) and U. fasciata Delile (N strain). In culture both strains differ morphologically from wild thalli with stipes; it seems that the two different taxa both show a petiolate morphology when growing under the same environmental conditions. 相似文献

Hyadaphis foeniculi (Passerini) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a cosmopolitan species and the main pest of fennel in northeastern Brazil. Understanding the relationship between temperature variations and the population growth rates of H. foeniculi is essential to predict the population dynamics of this aphid in the fennel crop. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of constant temperature on the adult prereproductive period and the life table fertility parameters (infinitesimal increase ratio (rm), gross reproduction rate (GRR), net reproduction rate (R0), finite increase ratio (λ), generation time (GT), the time required for the population to double in the number of individuals (DT), and the reproduction value (RVx)) of the fennel pest H. foeniculi. The values of lx (survival of nymphs at age x) increased as the temperature rose from 15 to 28°C and fell at 30°C, whereas mx (number of nymphs produced by each nymph of age x) increased from 15 to 25°C and fell at 28 and 30°C. The net reproduction rates (R0) of populations of H. foeniculi increased with temperature and ranged from 1.9 at 15°C to 12.23 at 28°C for each generation. The highest population increase occurred with the apterous aphids at 28°C. The rate of population increase per unit time (rm) (day) ranged from 0.0033 (15°C) to 0.1995 (28°C). The highest values of rm were recorded at temperatures of 28°C and 30°C. The rm values were a good fit to the models tested, with R2 > 0.91 and R2
adj > 0.88. The models tested (Davidson, Sharpe and DeMichele modified by Schoolfield et al., Logan et al., Lamb, and Briere et al.) were very good fits for the rm values observed, with R2 > 0.91 and R2
adj > 0.88. The only exception was the Davidson model. Of the parameters studied, the reproductive capacity was higher in the apterous aphids, with the unique exception of daily fecundity at 28°C, which was higher in the alate aphids of H. foeniculi. Parameters relating to the age-specific fertility table for H. foeniculi were heavily influenced by temperature, with the highest biotic potential and population growth capacity found at 34°C. Therefore, the results obtained in this study could be of practical significance for predicting outbreaks of fennel aphids and improving the management of this aphid in fennel crops. 相似文献

Growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain ATCC 43895 was monitored at 5, 10, 15, and 25°C in both pure and mixed (1:1) cultures with a gluconate-producing Pseudomonas sp. found in meat to evaluate the effect of the absence and presence of 1% glucose in broth on temperature-dependent competition. The number of colonies of the Pseudomonas strain exceeded 9 log CFU/ml under all conditions tested. The pathogen grew better as the temperature increased from 10 to 15 and 25°C and grew better in pure culture than in mixed cultures. Pseudomonas sp. inhibited E. coli O157:H7 in cocultures with glucose at 10°C, while at 15°C the pathogen exhibited a biphasic pattern of growth with an intermediate inactivation period. Pathogen inhibition was much weaker in cocultures grown without glucose at 10 to 15°C and, irrespective of glucose, at 25°C. These results indicate that glucose enhances the growth inhibition of E. coli O157:H7 by some Pseudomonas spp., potentially due to its rapid uptake and conversion to gluconate, at low (≤15°C) temperatures. 相似文献

Background
Acute exercise in the heat has been shown to reduce appetite. However, the influence of exercise in the cold on appetite regulation remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare exercise-induced appetite regulation under three different environmental temperatures.Methods
Eleven male participants completed three experimental trials on the following separate days: exercise in the heat (36°C), exercise at neutral temperature (24°C), and exercise in the cold (12°C). The exercise trials consisted of pedaling exercises for 30 min at 65% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Blood samples were collected repeatedly to determine plasma ghrelin, peptide YY (PYY) and other hormonal concentrations. Subjective feelings of hunger and tympanic temperature were also monitored.Results
Tympanic temperature was significantly higher in the 36°C trial than that of the other two trials (P < 0.05). The subjective feelings of hunger in the 36°C and 24°C trials were significantly lower than those in the 12°C trial (P < 0.05). Plasma ghrelin concentration decreased significantly with exercise in all conditions (P < 0.05), and the responses were not significantly different among the three conditions. Plasma PYY concentration increased significantly after the exercise in the 24°C trial only (P < 0.05), with no significant difference among the three trials.Conclusions
These results suggest that exposure to hot or cold temperatures during exercise did not affect exercise-induced plasma ghrelin and PYY responses. However, the exercise-induced reduction of subjective hunger was significantly attenuated in a cold environment. 相似文献20.

This study is aimed at the development and application of a convenient and rapid optical assay to monitor the wet-heat resistance of bacterial endospores occurring in food samples. We tested the feasibility of measuring the release of the abundant spore component dipicolinic acid (DPA) as a probe for heat inactivation. Spores were isolated from the laboratory type strain Bacillus subtilis 168 and from two food product isolates, Bacillus subtilis A163 and Bacillus sporothermodurans IC4. Spores from the lab strain appeared much less heat resistant than those from the two food product isolates. The decimal reduction times (D values) for spores from strains 168, A163, and IC4 recovered on Trypticase soy agar were 1.4, 0.7, and 0.3 min at 105°C, 120°C, and 131°C, respectively. The estimated Z values were 6.3°C, 6.1°C, and 9.7°C, respectively. The extent of DPA release from the three spore crops was monitored as a function of incubation time and temperature. DPA concentrations were determined by measuring the emission at 545 nm of the fluorescent terbium-DPA complex in a microtiter plate fluorometer. We defined spore heat resistance as the critical DPA release temperature (Tc), the temperature at which half the DPA content has been released within a fixed incubation time. We found Tc values for spores from Bacillus strains 168, A163, and IC4 of 108°C, 121°C, and 131°C, respectively. On the basis of these observations, we developed a quantitative model that describes the time and temperature dependence of the experimentally determined extent of DPA release and spore inactivation. The model predicts a DPA release rate profile for each inactivated spore. In addition, it uncovers remarkable differences in the values for the temperature dependence parameters for the rate of spore inactivation, DPA release duration, and DPA release delay. 相似文献
