The study about SICs has a profound potential significance and
economical value in the future. On one hand, the understanding of
SICs is quite helpful for effective sterilization in the food industry.
For example, the sterilization effect will be greatly enhanced while
the SICs are completely killed, which will immensely decrease the
economic losses resulting from the incomplete sterilization. On the
other hand, due to the particularity of metabolism for the SICs, the
SICs could be utilized to produce some useful metabolites, such as
trehalose, glycerin, etc, which are required in the food industry
