Oxidative modification and electrochemical inactivation of Escherichia coli upon cold atmospheric pressure plasma exposure.
Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas (CAPPs) are known to have bactericidal effects but the mechanism of their interaction with microorganisms remains poorly understood. In this study the bacteria Escherichia coli were used as a model and were exposed to CAPPs. Different gas compositions, helium with o...
