The effect of growth media on the aero-stability of Bacillus anthracis spores exposed to simulated solar radiation.

J. Jordan, C. Davies T, Hawkyard.
Annual Aerosol Science Conference 2015

General purpose bacterial growth media can be used to produce Bacillus spores but these media lack the specific divalent cations added to sporulation media. The UV resistance of Bacillus subtilis can reportedly be influenced by the presence or absence of these divalent cations (1), but it is unknown whether this occurs in B. anthracis.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
