Konidien auf Orangenschale (in vivo), Niederdruck-Hg 254 nm — sehr hohe Dosis durch Schalen-Topographie; in-vitro-Agar-D90 nur ~17 mJ/cm2. Zweithäufigster Zitrus-postharvest-Erreger nach P. digitatum.
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 241 mJ/cm²
Morphology & UV-C resistance
Morphology class Mold spore (conidia)
Pilz-Konidie auf strukturierter Fruchtschale: Pigment-Absorption + ausgeprägter Schattenwurf — ~14× höhere Dosis als auf glattem Agar.
