每年有近200万人死于真菌感染。此外,真菌作物感染危及全球粮食供应。使用来自汞蒸气灯的254nmUVC辐射是一种已知对所有微生物有效的消毒技术,并且有发表的UVC敏感性调查。然而,这些主要集中在细菌和病毒上。因此,这里将提供真菌的相应概述,包括远紫外线,UVB,UVA,可见光,除了常规的254nmUVC失活。搜索可用文献以获得上述光谱范围内真菌的光灭活数据。为了使演示文稿标准化,平均对数减少剂量按真菌物种检索和排序,光谱范围,波长,中等,在其他人中。此外,在透明液体培养基中确定真菌的中位对数减少剂量.汇编了过去100年出版物中大约400个可评估的个人数据集。大多数研究是在黑曲霉上使用汞蒸气灯的254nm辐射进行的,白色念珠菌,和酿酒酵母.然而,发现的数据高度分散,这可能是由于实验条件。即使单个数据集的数量似乎很大,到目前为止,许多重要的真菌还没有得到广泛的研究。例如,世界卫生组织(WHO)分类为“高优先级”或“中等优先级”的真菌物种的一半尚不存在紫外线辐射数据。此外,研究人员应测量其真菌悬浮液在照射波长下的透射率,以避免吸收或散射对照射结果的不良影响。
Nearly two million people die each year from fungal infections. Additionally, fungal crop infections jeopardize the global food supply. The use of 254 nm UVC radiation from mercury vapor lamps is a disinfection technique known to be effective against all microorganisms, and there are surveys of published UVC sensitivities. However, these mainly focus on bacteria and viruses. Therefore, a corresponding overview for fungi will be provided here, including far-UVC, UVB, UVA, and visible light, in addition to the conventional 254 nm UVC inactivation. The available literature was searched for photoinactivation data for fungi in the above-mentioned spectral ranges. To standardize the presentation, the mean log-reduction doses were retrieved and sorted by fungal species, spectral range, wavelength, and medium, among others. Additionally, the median log-reduction dose was determined for fungi in transparent liquid media. Approximately 400 evaluable individual data sets from publications over the last 100 years were compiled. Most studies were performed with 254 nm radiation from mercury vapor lamps on Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the data found were highly scattered, which could be due to the experimental conditions. Even though the number of individual data sets seems large, many important fungi have not been extensively studied so far. For example, UV irradiation data does not yet exist for half of the fungal species classified as \"high priority\" or \"medium priority\" by the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, researchers should measure the transmission of their fungal suspensions at the irradiation wavelength to avoid the undesirable effects of either absorption or scattering on irradiation results.
