Investigating the inactivation mechanism of Bacillus subtilis spores by high pressure CO2

The objective of this study was to investigate the inactivation mechanism of Bacillus subtilis spores by high pressure CO2 (HPCD) processing. The spores of B. subtilis were subjected to heat at 0.1 MPa or HPCD at 6.5-20 MPa, and 64-86ºC for 0-120 min. The germination, the permeability of inner membr...
