Abstract:Pulsed corona discharge (PCD) of moderate frequency in air has a bactericidal and bacteriostatic eff ect on Escherichia сoli М17 cultures at both cellular and population levels. PCD exposure inhibits forming a microbial community and results in the destruction of formed biofi lms. Th e paper presents data of electron microscopy investigations of cells' and biofi lms' ultrastructure aft er PCD treatment over a 90 second period. Th e morphological properties of opportunistic bacteria E. сoli M17 cells altered af… Show more
