Konidien-Suspension Stamm ATCC 36576, 254 nm — Pflanzenpathogen (Welkekrankheit), auch in Bewässerungs- und Hydrokultur-Wassersystemen relevant.
UV-C dose–response (D-values)
A D-value is the UV-C dose (in mJ/cm²) needed for a given log-reduction. D90 = 90 % inactivation = 1-log; D99 = 99 % = 2-log; D99.9 = 99.9 % = 3-log, and so on. Values come from the cited study under its specific test conditions.
Reduction log Dose (mJ/cm²)
D90 90 % 1-log 38.4 mJ/cm²
Morphology & UV-C resistance
Morphology class Mold spore (conidia)
Pilz-Konidie: dicke Zellwand + Pigment absorbieren UV-C — resistenter als vegetative Hyphen.
