Titanium Dioxide Solar Photocatalytic Microbial Inactivation Assessment Utilizing Viability Tests and a Novel Triplex qPCR Assay for Nucleic Acid Degradation Determination.

Following an additional 3 h of treatment (time point 6 h), Candida albicans DNA in the processed supernatants was below the detection limit of our assay (<1 genome equivalent, Table 1 ), reflecting a highly significant degradation of fungal DNA, indicative of fungal cell damage and thus reduced pathogenicity.
