| Abstract: | The sensitivity of vegetative cells and ascospores of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to a range of biocides used in food industry hygiene was compared. Ascospores were significantly more resistant to quaternary ammonium compounds and hypochlorite but not peracetic acid. Ascospores also showed greater tolerance of desiccation than vegetative cells. |
