Mechanism of the synergistic inactivation of Escherichia coli by UV-C light at mild temperatures.

abstract：:The respiration of three phenotypes of Histoplasma capsulatum, the causal agent of histoplasmosis in humans, was markedly reduced by low concentrations of montmorillonite but was reduced less by even higher concentrations of kaolinite or attapulgite (palygorskite). The reduction in respiration followed a pattern that ...
