High pressure causes tighter packing of the acyl chains within the
phospholipid bilayer of membranes and promotes membrane
transition from liquid crystalline to gel phase, in a similar way as
a temperature downshift.
CONTD
Double strand breaks occur when two single strand breaks take
place in each chain of the double helix at a close distance.

Ultra-violet radiations:-
c. Alternating high and low- pressure areas impinge upon microorganisms and
destroys them.
STRESS ADAPTATION AND RESISTANCE
It depends upon:-
a.Type of organism
Bacterial spores are generally the most resistant to inimical
processes, followed by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
This is due to the rigidity of the teichoic acids in the
peptidoglycan layer of the Gram-positive cell wall.
b. Size of organism
a.Bacteria of small size and coccoid in shape are generally more
resistant to HPP than the large rod-shaped ones.
Reduced cell surface area in contact with the environment may
limit cell leakage at a given treatment intensity, and thus minimize
the effect of the treatment.
CONTD..
The induction of this sigma factor occurs in response to starvation, generally when cells
enter the stationary phase of growth, and also when exponentially growing cells are
subjected to stresses other than starvation.
It is known that the higher resistance to HHP of stationary phase cells is partly the
result of the presence of the RpoS protein in E. coli and sigB in L. monocytogenes.
