Correction to: UV-C pre-adaptation of Salmonella : effect on cell morphology and membrane fatty acids composition

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of ultraviolet radiations (UV-C) on the fatty acids composition of three serovars of Salmonella : S. typhimurium , S. hadar and S. zanzibar . Results obtained show that UV-C treatment increases significantly ( P ≤ 0.05) the percentage of cyclic fatty acids. The atomic force microscopy was used to study the morphology and cell surface of irradiated strains. Results show that UV-C rays induce morphological changes and alter the bacterial cell surface (presence of grooves and irregularities).
