Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed May 20, 2025 File No. 333-287423 Dear James Rolke: We have conducted a limited review of your registration statement and have the following comments. Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Registration Statement on Form S-1 Cover Page 1. We note your disclosure indicating that under the "zero exercise price" option, holders of your Class H-1 Warrants will have the right to receive an aggregate of 32,786,880 shares of your common stock based on the formula provided. Please revise the cover page header to highlight the maximum number of shares that could be issued upon exercise of your Class H-1 Warrants. For guidance, refer to Regulation S-K, Item 501(b)(2). Please similarly revise your Summary of the Offering section. 2. Please revise your cover page disclosure to briefly describe the event(s) that would trigger the automatic exercise of the Class H-3 Warrants and any provisions that would preclude automatic exercise. May 21, 2025 Page 2 Summary of the Offering Use of Proceeds, page 4 3. Please review your Use of Proceeds disclosure here and on page 44 to clarify that if the Stockholder Approval is not obtained or another event precludes the automatic exercise of the Class H-3 Warrants, your proceeds from the offering will be significantly reduced. Risk Factors Risks Related to this Offering, page 7 4. Please revise this subsection to include a risk factor disclosing that dilution from the offering could cause the company s common stock price to fall below Nasdaq's minimum bid price, which could result in its shares being delisted from Nasdaq. If the registrant has plans to seek shareholder approval for a reverse stock split, such plans should be disclosed in the registration statement, including the proposed ratio, if known. In your new risk factor, please also discuss Nasdaq's recent actions taken pursuant to Listing Rule 5101 with respect to other companies that have consummated offerings involving zero exercise price warrants, or advise. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff. Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration statement.

Today Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”)
has filed Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 to respond to the staff's letter of comments dated January 2, 2024
(the “Comment Letter”), to reflect the effects of a 1 for 30 reverse stock split which was effective as of January 25, 2024,
and to include the number of warrants and prefunded warrants to be registered. The numbered paragraphs below correspond to the numbered
comments in the Comment Letter.
1. The cover page has been revised to state the date on which the offering will be terminated (25 days after the effective date of the
registration statement).
2. The number of warrants and prefunded warrants (as well as the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants and the pre-funded
warrants) has been completed.
As I discussed on the telephone with Ms. Polynice,
the Company will be requesting acceleration of effectiveness as soon as the Staff confirms that there are no further comments.
Please call or email with any further questions or
comments.

Registration Statement on Form S-1 Commission File Nos. 333-268076, 268576 Gentlemen: Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) today has filed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the above-captioned registration statements on Form S-1 as we discussed last week. The amendment updates the executive compensation disclosure, provides a business update and includes a new exchange feature for the warrants suggested by the Placement Agent. Most importantly, it reflects the authorization of additional shares of common stock to remove the exercise contingency for the offered warrants in accordance with the Staff’s oral comment. Following discussion with Roth Capital Partners, subject to the timing of the Staff’s review, it would be the Company's plan to go effective on February 8, 2023 at the close of business, with pricing immediately thereafter, orders finalized the next day, and closing presumably on February 13, 2023. Please let us know if this is a timetable that you think you can work with. As usual, the Company contact is Chester S, Zygmont, III, the Company's chief financial officer, whose e-mail is czygmont@revbiosciences.com. As always, thanks for your assistance.

No. 333-259638
Dear
Mr. Campbell and Mr. McCann:
On
behalf of Petra Acquisition Inc. (the “Company”), we are hereby responding to the letter dated November 26,
2021 (the “Comment Letter”) from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, regarding the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-259638 (“Registration
Statement”). In response to the Comment Letter and to update certain information in the Registration Statement, the Company
is filing Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (the “Amended Registration Statement”) with the Commission
today.
For
ease of reference, the text of the Staff’s comment is included in bold-face type below, followed by the Company’s response.
Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 Cover Page
1. We
note your response to prior comment 1. Please revise your cover page to disclose the ownership
percentages of the Sponsor and Insiders, the Public Stockholders and the existing holders
of Revelation’s stock in the combined company.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised the cover page to add the requested ownership percentages.
Q.
Did the Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?,
page 8
2. Please
revise to address the following:
● Clarify
that the Petra Board approved the business combination agreement prior to receipt of the
fairness opinion.
● Quantify
the deferred underwriting, Business Combination, and other fees payable to LifeSci Capital
upon merger consummation.
● Disclose
LifeSci’s ownership stake in Revelation.
In
addition, add a separate Question and Answer immediately following the existing one to highlight and explain that LifeSci negotiated
the terms of the business combination agreement on behalf of Petra notwithstanding interests different from or in addition to those held
by other Petra stockholders. With reference to the disclosure on page 107, the Q&A should explain that LifeSci negotiated with Revelation
concerning the amount of LifeSci’s deferred underwriting fee at the same time that LifeSci and Revelation were negotiating Revelation’s
valuation for purposes of determining how much equity would be allocated to the parties in the business combination.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised page 8 to add the requested date clarification, fees and ownership stake. Two new Q&As have also been added.

Summary
of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Petra’s
Reasons for the Business Combination, page 21
3. We
note your response to prior comment 10 and re-issue. The risks described beginning on page
22 are primarily risks related to the business combination process and COVID-19 and are not
risks or uncertainties that are specific to Revelation and its business. Based on your response
letter and in particular your statement that the risks related to Revelation that Petra’s
board of directors considered are set forth beginning on page 22 of the document, it appears
that Petra’s board of directors did not consider risks unique to Revelation and its
business in making its decision to approve the Business Combination. Accordingly, please
revise your disclosure here and on page 110 to clarify, if true, that Petra’s board
of directors did not evaluate risks that were specific and unique to Revelation in making
its decision to approve the Business Combination.
Please
also revise your disclosure here and on page 110 to disclose the material risks to unaffiliated investors presented by taking the company
public through a merger rather than an underwritten offering.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised pages 23 and 119 to set forth the risks and uncertainties that are specific to Revelation and its business that
Petra considered in evaluating Revelation as a merger candidate.
4. We
note your statements here and pages 109 and 152 indicating that data from REVDx- 501 correlate
well with PCR for SARS-CoV-2. Please revise to reflect your disclosure on page 169 which
indicates that REVDx-501 returned numerous positive tests from test samples that were PCR
negative.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised page 22, 118, 156, 157 and 173 to show the 86% negative agreement for no replicating SARS-COV-2 virus.
Revelation’s
Reasons for the Business Combination, page 23
5. We
note your response to prior comment 7. Please revise your disclosure in this section to clarify,
if true, that the pro forma enterprise value of approximately $128M considered by Revelation
excluded pro forma cash, including any funds from the trust account.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised page 25 with the requested clarifications regarding the pro forma enterprise value.
6. Please
revise here and in the Background of the Business Combination section to explain why Revelation
discontinued its pursuit of the initial public offering in favor of a business combination
with a SPAC entity, particularly given your disclosures that Revelation received preliminary
indications of interest from new institutional investors at valuations ranging from $120
million to $150 million. Also, revise to clarify what type of initial public offering was
pursued (e.g., firm commitment, best efforts, etc.).
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised pages 25 and 115 to explain why Revelation discontinued its pursuit of a firm commitment initial public offering.

Risk
Factors
The
Proposed Charter provides..., page 69
7. Please
revise this risk factor to reflect your disclosure elsewhere in the proxy statement/prospectus
that your Delaware exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a
duty or liability arising under the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal
courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Please also revise to reflect your discussion elsewhere
in the proxy statement/prospectus that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent
jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all actions brought to enforce any duty or
liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Additionally,
please revise to address any risks and impact on investors, such as increased costs to bring
a claim and that that these provisions can discourage claims or limit inventors’ ability
to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised the disclosure beginning on page 71 and 220 to address the Staff’s comment.

Combined Condensed Balance Sheet, page 94
8. Please
revise the adjustments in Notes (C) and (D) in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet
since the adjustments do not appear to be included in the correct line based on the explanation
in the Notes.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has switched the order of the two line items in question, which had been out of order, and which should resolve the Staff's
comment.
Background
of the Business Combination, page 104
9. With
reference to the May 17 entry, please identify the Petra board members who were informed
of the potential conflicts of interest. With reference to your disclosure on page 110 indicating
that Petra directors reviewed and considered LifeSci’s interests “during the
negotiations,” discuss how the Petra Board, or the informed board members, reviewed
these interests and what measures, if any, they considered to mitigate the potential impacts
that LifeSci’s conflicts could have on future negotiations. In particular, specifically
discuss whether the Board considered discontinuing LifeSci’s involvement in the merger
negotiations.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised page 114 to address the Staff’s comments.
Page 4
Opinion
of the Petra Financial Advisor, page 110
10. We
note your response to prior comment 22 and your statement that Scalar did not rely on financial
projections in connection with delivering its fairness opinion. Please reconcile this response
with your disclosure from page 111 which indicates the following: “With respect to
the financial projections referred to above and any other forecasts or forward looking information,
Scalar assumed, at the direction of the management of Petra, that such projections, forecasts
and information were reasonably prepared and reflected the best then available estimates
and good faith judgments of the matters covered thereby.” With reference to Annex D-1,
also revise to identify the “internal financial statements” reviewed by Scalar
and, irrespective of reliance, revise to clarify whether Scalar received financial projections
prepared by either Petra or Revelation.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised the disclosure throughout the document to clarify that that Scalar did not rely on any financial projections
in connection with delivering its fairness opinion. Annex D has also been revised to identify the internal financial statements reviewed
by Scalar.
11. We
note that Scalar’s opinion indicates that the “Merger Consideration is fair,
from a financial point of view, to Petra as of September 17, 2021.” We also note; however,
that your disclosures on pages 146 and 241, and your Form S-1 IPO prospectus disclosures,
represent that a fairness opinion would address fairness viewed from the standpoint of Petra’s
“unaffiliated stockholders.” In light of these disclosures, please tell us what
consideration the Petra Board has given to the adequacy of Scalar’s September 17 opinion
for purposes of consummating the business combination.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that Scalar has revised its opinion letter to clarify that the
opinion addresses fairness viewed from the standpoint of Petra’s “unaffiliated stockholders.”

note your response to prior comment 30. Please revise your description of the AXA Voting

consummation of the Business Combination, as indicated in your response letter.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised page 198 to add the requested disclosure.
Certain

13. We
note your response to prior comment 31 and re-issue. Please revise this section to disclose

made its investments.
RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and has revised page 244 to add the requested disclosure..

For
ease of reference, the text of the Staff’s comment is included in bold-face type below, followed by the Company’s response.
Registration
Statement on Form S-4
Cover Page
1. We
note that your cover page disclosure is five pages in length and duplicates much of the information contained in the Notice that immediately
follows it. Please revise to make the cover page more concise. In your revision, please highlight the business combination consideration
and agreed-upon pre-money valuation of Revelation.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the cover page to make it more concise and include on the cover
page the requested disclosure.
Market
and Industry Data, page 1
2. We
note your statements that (i) you have not independently verified the market and industry data contained in the proxy statement/prospectus
or the associated underlying assumptions and (ii) your research has not been verified by any independent source. These statements may
imply an inappropriate disclaimer of responsibility with respect to such information. Please either delete these statements or specifically
state that you are liable for such information.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided updated disclosure on page 1 of the Amended Registration Statement
to indicate Petra’s responsibility for the statements in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Questions
and Answers About the Proposals
What equity stake will current stockholders of Petra and Revelation Equityholders hold in New Revelation
after the Closing?, page 7
3. Please
revise the response to this question to disclose the sponsor and its affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the combined
company, assuming exercise and conversion of all securities.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided updated disclosure beginning on page 7 of the Amended Registration
Statement disclosing the sponsor and its affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the combined company, assuming exercise
and conversion of all securities.
What
interests do Petra’s current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?, page 9
4. Please
revise the response to this question and your other conflict-of-interest disclosure throughout to clarify if the sponsor and its affiliates
can earn a positive rate of return on their investment, even if other SPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the post-business
combination company.
Please
also quantify the fees that would be payable to LifeSci Capital upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided updated disclosure beginning on pages 10, 25, 79, 88, and 118
of the Amended Registration Statement. We have also added a new Risk Factor addressing the rate of return risk on page
78.
Summary
of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Revelation, page 16
5. We
note your statement here and on pages 145 and 197 that Revelation’s therapeutics and diagnostic platforms may be applied to a wide array
of viral infections, including SARS- CoV-2, variants of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus,
rhinovirus, and others. Given Revelation’s current stage of development, it is premature to make this claim. Please revise to remove
this sentence.
We
further note your statement here and on pages 145 and 152 that REVx-99 works by boosting the body’s innate immune system, preventing
the user from becoming infected or activating the innate immune system to combat early infections. You may state that REVx-99 is designed
to boost the body’s innate immune system, with the goal of preventing a user from becoming infected or activating the innate immune system,
but please revise this sentence to avoid the implication that REVx-99 has already demonstrated these characteristics.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided updated disclosure beginning on page 151 of the Amended
Registration Statement.

6. We
note your statement here and on pages 145 and 197 that REVDx-501 is a rapid point- of-care diagnostic that can be used to detect various
respiratory viral infections. Please revise this sentence here and throughout to reflect your disclosure elsewhere in the document that
REVDx-501 has not been approved for marketing by the FDA or any other regulatory agency.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided updated disclosure beginning on page 16, 27, 36, 37 among others
of the Amended Registration Statement.
Consideration
to th e Revelation Equityholders in the Business Combination, page 17
7. Please
explain to us how your statement that the implied equity value of $128 million of the post-business combination company, assuming that
shares of Petra trade at approximately $10 per share and that there are no redemptions, is consistent with your disclosure elsewhere
in the prospectus indicating that (i) the combined company would have 19,597,689 shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no redemptions
and (ii) the parties agreed a pre-money valuation of Revelation of $105 million and there is approximately $73.5 million in the trust
account.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the referenced disclosure no longer appears in the document.
Reasons
for the Business Combination, page 21
8. Please
revise the first sentence of the “REVTx-99” bullet to remove any implication that REVTx-99 can (i) be used to prevent or treat
infections and (ii) boosts the body’s immune system and prevents users from becoming infected or activates innate immune response given
that this product candidate is still in clinical trials.
Similarly,
please revise the “REVTx-200” and “REVDx-501” bullets to remove any implication that either one is effective and
to clarify that both are still in development.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided updated disclosure beginning on page 21 of the Amended
Registration Statement.
9. Please
revise to provide the basis for your statements that (i) Revelation’s products are all based on a solid scientific foundation and (ii)
Revelation has multiple near-term value driving milestones.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided updated disclosure beginning on page 22 of the Amended
Registration Statement.

10. Please
disclose whether Petra’s board of directors considered any risks related to Revelation in evaluating the Business Combination. If Petra’s
board considered such risks, please disclose them. Please also disclose the material risks to unaffiliated investors presented by taking
the company public through a merger rather than an underwritten offering. These risks could include the absence of due diligence conducted
by an underwriter that would be subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement.
RESPONSE:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the risks related to Revelation that Petra’s board of directors
considered in evaluating the Business Combination are set forth beginning on page 22 of the Amended Registration Statement. We have
also provided updated disclosure beginning on page 109 of the Amended Registration Statement so that Petra’s reasons for approving
the Business Combination and risks considered in evaluating the same, appear consecutively in the same section.
The
Company has also added a risk factor, beginning on page 83 of the Amended Registration Statement, that discloses the risks to unaffiliated
investors presented by taking the company public through a merger rather than an underwritten offering.
Unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Condensed Consolidated Financial Information Basis of Presentation and Background, page 90
11. We
note your statement that the Company’s net tangible asset value would not fall below $5,000,001 even in a full redemption scenario. Please

15. Please
revise this section to describe how Petra’s board of directors determined an initial $75M pre-money valuation of Revelation as well as
how and why Petra agreed to increase the pre-money valuation of Revelation to $105M. In your revisions, please present the calculations
and analysis utilized by Petra’s management and board of directors in determining these valuations. Discuss any forecasts and all material

Questions and Answers About the Proposals
What equity stake will current stockholders of Petra and Revelation Equityholders hold in New
Revelation after the Closing?, page 7
3.Please revise the response to this question to disclose the sponsor and its affiliates’ total
potential ownership interest in the combined company, assuming exercise and conversion
of all securities.
What interests do Petra's current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?, page
9
4.Please revise the response to this question and your other conflict-of-interest disclosure
throughout to clarify if the sponsor and its affiliates can earn a positive rate of return on
their investment, even if other SPAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return in
the post-business combination company.
Please also quantify the fees that would be payable to LifeSci Capital upon the
consummation of the Business Combination.
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Revelation, page 16
5.We note your statement here and on pages 145 and 197 that Revelation's therapeutics and
diagnostic platforms may be applied to a wide array of viral infections, including SARS-
CoV-2, variants of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, parainfluenza, respiratory
syncytial virus, rhinovirus, and others. Given Revelation's current stage of development, it
is premature to make this claim. Please revise to remove this sentence.
We further note your statement here and on pages 145 and 152 that REVx-99 works by
boosting the body's innate immune system, preventing the user from becoming infected or
activating the innate immune system to combat early infections. You may state that
REVx-99 is designed to boost the body's innate immune system, with the goal of
preventing a user from becoming infected or activating the innate immune system, but
please revise this sentence to avoid the implication that REVx-99 has already
demonstrated these characteristics.
6.We note your statement here and on pages 145 and 197 that REVDx-501 is a rapid point-
of-care diagnostic that can be used to detect various respiratory viral infections. Please
revise this sentence here and throughout to reflect your disclosure elsewhere in the
document that REVDx-501 has not been approved for marketing by the FDA or any other
regulatory agency.

Consideration to the Revelation Equityholders in the Business Combination, page 17
7.Please explain to us how your statement that the implied equity value of $128 million of
the post-business combination company, assuming that shares of Petra trade at
approximately $10 per share and that there are no redemptions, is consistent with your
disclosure elsewhere in the prospectus indicating that (i) the combined company would
have 19,597,689 shares of common stock outstanding, assuming no redemptions and (ii)
the parties agreed a pre-money valuation of Revelation of $105 million and there is
approximately $73.5 million in the trust account.
Reasons for the Business Combination, page 21
8.Please revise the first sentence of the "REVTx-99" bullet to remove any implication that
REVTx-99 can (i) be used to prevent or treat infections and (ii) boosts the body's immune
system and prevents users from becoming infected or activates innate immune
response given that this product candidate is still in clinical trials.
Similarly, please revise the "REVTx-200" and "REVDx-501" bullets to remove any
implication that either one is effective and to clarify that both are still in development.
9.Please revise to provide the basis for your statements that (i) Revelation's products are all
based on a solid scientific foundation and (ii) Revelation has multiple near-term value
driving milestones.
10.Please disclose whether Petra's board of directors considered any risks related to
Revelation in evaluating the Business Combination. If Petra's board considered such risks,
please disclose them. Please also disclose the material risks to unaffiliated investors
presented by taking the company public through a merger rather than an underwritten
offering. These risks could include the absence of due diligence conducted by an
underwriter that would be subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions
in a registration statement.
