which is
likely due to the reactions of the oxidizing agentwith the organicmatter
of carcasses. Spores lose their resistance and can be easily inactivated
when they germinate, a necessary process for spores to become metabolically
active and in the case of C. estertheticum, to cause spoilage. To
explore the germination-inactivation strategy for controlling BPS, information
on factors affecting germination of C. estertheticum spores is
required
