Author Watanabe et al.
Year 2010
Konidien-Suspension in Mineralwasser (Stamm NBRC 6345), 254 nm, pH 6.7 — Verderbnisschimmel in abgefülltem Wasser; vergleichsweise hoher D-Wert.
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 117.7 mJ/cm²
Morphology & UV-C resistance
Morphology class Mold spore (conidia)
Pilz-Konidie: dicke pigmentierte Zellwand absorbiert UV-C — relativ hohe Resistenz.
