Ecology and thermal inactivation of microbes in and on interplanetary space vehicle componentsDry heat inactivation characteristics were compared for 4-6 (B. brevis) spores and microbes from the Cincinnati soil samples at 105, 112, and 125. Characterized were the survival curves of 4-6 (B. brevis) spores at 112, 115, 118, 120, and 125 C, and 1.2 microgram of water per ml of headspace air (closed tin-can system), and the morphological characteristics of 4-6 (B. brevis), 6-12 (B. lentus), 7-11 (B. coagulans), and B. subtilis var. niger spores by scanning electron microscopy.
