The invention lies in the field of microbiology, more particularly in the field of (food) preservation and testing of viability of microbiological spores. It is shown that measurement of the integrity of both rRNA and mRNA in spores is an accurate indicator of viability. Nucleotide assays then form a significant improvement over the state of the art assays for viability.
