KINETICS OF HEAT ACTIVATION AND OF THERMAL DEATH OF BACTERIAL SPORES.
Hypotheses concerning kinetics of heat activation and of thermal death of bacterial spores were formulated, and were employed to derive equations describing nonlogarithmic thermal death curves. The equations permitted evaluation of the validity of experimental data and provided a means for testing the hypotheses presented.
