Fig. 3From: Blue light inactivation of the enveloped RNA virus Phi6Results of the 455 nm irradiation of phi6 samples. a Example photographs of virus solution on agar plates. After 24 h the viruses have created visible plaques in the bacterial lawn. Top: non-irradiated sample, bottom: same sample after 2880 J/cm2 at 455 nm. b Evolution of phi6 concentration in plaque forming units (PFU) per ml as a function of the 455 nm irradiation dose. The former 405 nm results [27] are added for comparison. Each value represents the average of at least three independent experiments and the error bars depict the standard deviation of these single measurementsBack to article page
