Inactivation of Escherichia coli Population on Fruit Surfaces Using Ultraviolet-C Light: Influence of Fruit Surface Characteristics
Ultraviolet-C (UV-C 254 nm) light is a possible alternative for chemical disinfection of fresh fruits. However, studies on the influence of surface characteristics on the kinetics of UV-C inactivation of micro...

Mechanism of Regulation of Gene Expression for Chloroplast Proteins
Both plastid- and nuclear-encoded proteins are involved in photosynthetic reactions carried out by chloroplasts. While the structure of various plastome-encoded photosynthesis-related genes has been worked out...
