title: Relationship of dipicolinic acid content in spores of Bacillus cereus T to ultraviolet and gamma radiation resistance.
abstract: Spores of Bacillus cereus T lacking dipicolinic acid showed a statistically significant reduction in resistance to ultraviolet and gamma radiation as compared with spores with high dipicolinic acid content.
