Death rates of bacterial spores: nonlinear survivor curves

Y W Han. Can J Microbiol. 1975 Oct.

Abstract

Nonlinear survivor curves were obtained when spores of Bacillus cereus were heated in physiological saline solution. Curvilinear survivor curves did not appear to be caused by experimental artifacts but by the heterogeneity of spore population with regard to heat resistance.
