  • Examples 10-1 to 10-2 An aqueous solution in which a C16 trimethylammonium chloride aqueous solution was mixed with a DPA aqueous solution was used. The final concentration of DPA was the concentration shown in Table 10, and the final concentration of C16 trimethylammonium chloride was 10 mM. A germination test was performed under the same conditions as in Example 1-1 to evaluate the germination effect. Table 10 shows the evaluation results.
  • the sprouting method of the present invention can be used in a wide range of applications such as linen cleaning, food spoilage prevention, and environmental purification.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'éliminer les spores en mettant en œuvre les étapes 1, 2 et 3 de la présente invention. Spécifiquement, l'étape 1 consiste à mettre une bactérie sporulée en contact avec de l'acide dipicolinique ou un sel de celui-ci, l'étape 2 consiste à mettre la bactérie sporulée en contact avec un tensioactif cationique, et l'étape 3 consiste à réchauffer la bactérie sporulée à 50 °C ou plus. Il peut y avoir une période au cours de laquelle l'étape 1, l'étape 2 et l'étape 3 sont réalisées simultanément.
