title: Cellular activities in ultra-violet killed Escherichia coli.
abstract: In this work we analyze the physiological state of cells after lethal-UV dose disinfection using independent metabolic markers. Through the detection of some metabolic activities we proved that cell lysis does not immediately follow death in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli K12 cells.
