Bactericidal effect of ultraviolet C light-emitting diodes: Optimization of efficacy toward foodborne pathogens in water.

The elimination of bacterial pathogens from water using ultraviolet C light-emitting diodes (UVC-LEDs) is a critical technology in terms of hygiene and sanitation. This technology has several advantages, such as low energy consumption, no heating requirements, and high effectiveness. Although several studies have reported the bactericidal effect of UVC-LEDs, little information is available on their bactericidal effect on water reservoirs contaminated with microorganisms.

Complete genome sequence of Celeribacter marinus IMCC12053(T), the host strain of marine bacteriophage P12053L.

Isolated from coastal seawater from Yellow Sea of Korea, Celeribacter marinus IMCC12053 was used as the host bacterium for bacteriophage P12053L. Here we report the complete genome sequence of strain IMCC12053 for further study of the marine bacteriophage P12053L functional genes. Single molecule real-time technology (PacBio RSII) was used for the single circular chromosome that is 3,096,705 base pairs in length and the GC content is 56.
