[Research of the inactivation of pathogens in water under exposure to low temperature plasma].

There was investigated the effect of barrier and spark discharge low temperature plasma on water containing the cells of Escherichia coli (Escherichia coli), hay bacillus (Bacillus subtilis) and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). There was shown a general decline in the concentration of viable microbial cells after the treatment of suspensions. There was especially marked the detrimental effect of the method on the viability of sanitary-indicative coliform bacteria in the water.
