Testing thermal death data for significant nonlograithmic behavior.
The thermal death behavior of Bacillus stearothermophilus spores in distilled water suspensions is nonlogarithmic in dynamic as well as static tests. The explanation of heat lags as the cause of nonlogarithmic behavior is incorrect.
