Sporicidal Action of Pulsed Radiation of Hot Plasma
Abstract
was to study sporicidal activity of hot plasma pulsed radiation of spark electric discharge by the analysis findings of active products formed in an aqueous L-tyrosine solution under the effect of the discharge. Materials and Methods: cells per 1 ml). Tyrosine conversion products were identified spectrophotometrically before and after treatment. The biocidal and sporicidal effects were assessed by counting CFU (colony-forming units) after seeding incubation at 27-37°C. Results: … complex with the formation of a nitric oxide and a nitronium ion in an acidic medium. Conclusion: … complex with the formation of a nitric oxide and a nitronium ion in an acidic medium. Nitration plays a decisive role in the sporicidal action of the hot plasma radiation of a spark discharge. The principle of the sporicidal effect of gas-discharge plasma radiation can be used to develop disinfecting devices.
