T1 Inactivation of Consortiums of Microorganisms by Air Plasma Jet at Atmospheric Pressure JF Plasma Medicine JO PMED YR 2017 FD 2017-12-18 VO 7 IS 2 SP 109 OP 115 K1 atmospheric pressure glow discharge K1 plasma jet K1 IR-absorption spectroscopy K1 inactivation of microorganisms K1 plasma medicine AB We realize an atmospheric pressure glow discharge air plasma jet at direct current and detect the bactericidal components in plasma jet using optical emission and infrared-absorption spectroscopy. We investigate degree of inactivation of planktonic microorganisms and their consortium after treatment with air plasmajet. We then test the efficiency of plasma inactivation on the natural consortium and find a decreased ability of the surviving microorganisms to form biofilms.
