Abstract

Experimental research on inactivating various types of microorganisms with low-temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure demonstrates great advantages of this method. It is shown that when treating the cells with cold plasma for 3 minutes by using a compact plasma source (plasmatron) a partial or complete disruption of the functional activity of Paramecium caudatum cells occurs. We have found out that plasma treatment for 5 minutes suppresses completely the vital functions of pathogenic microorganisms such as Mucor, Fusarium, Aspergillus and Bacillus mesentericus cells.
