Spores of Bacillus subtilis are approximately ten times less likely to survive UV light irradiation in a vacuum than under atmospheric conditions. Photoproduct formation was studied in spores irradiated under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions and in spores irradiated at atmospheric pressure. In addi
