-
clostridia
These are anaerobic, spore-forming, Gram-positive bacteria. Clostridia spores exhibit a very high resistance to thermal disinfecton methods and are able to survive a temperature of 100°C for several hours unharmed. Depending on the various investigation methods used, the LD90 value (UVC254nm) for Clostridia lies between 4.9 ... 23 mJ/cm2.
-
cytoplasma
The gel-like, liquid, organic basic substance, surrounded by the cell membrane, of which a microorganism consists.
-
cytosine
Cytosine (C4H5N3O) is one of the four complementary coding nucleobases in DNA. Cytosine forms a base pair via three hydrogen bonds with guanine.
