Impact of surface structure and feed gas composition on Bacillus subtilis endospore inactivation during direct plasma treatment

This study investigated the inactivation efficiency of cold atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on Bacillus subtilis endospores dependent on the used feed gas composition and on the surface, the endospores were attached on. Glass petri-dishes, glass beads and peppercorns were inoculated with the s...
