Résumé
During ohmic heating, the electric field may additionally inactivate bacterial endospores. However, the exact mechanism of action is unclear. Thus, a mechanistic study was carried out, investigating the possible target of electric fields inside the spore. Bacillus subtilis spores were heated by conventional and ohmic heating in a capillary system under almost identical thermal conditions. Wild-type (PS533) spores were used, as well as isogenic mutants lacking certain components known for their contribution to spores' heat resistance: small-acid soluble proteins (SASP) protecting DNA (PS578); the coat covering the spore (PS3328); and the spore germination enzyme SleB (FB122(+)). Treatment-dependent release of the spore core's depot of dipicolinic acid (DPA) was further evaluated. Up to 2.4 log
