Physical Mechanisms of Inactivation of Bacillus subtilis Spores Using Cold Atmospheric Plasmas
Open accessAbstract
This paper presents a detailed study of the potential physical mechanisms of the microbial inactivation by cold atmospheric plasmas. With the Bacillus subtilis spores as a model microorganism and an atmospheric-plasma plume in helium flow, optical emission spectroscopy and inactivation kinetics are used to demonstrate the dominating role played by the reactive oxygen species (e.g., atomic oxygen and OH) as well as the minor contributions of the UV photons, heat, charged particles, and electric fields. To differentiate the concentrations of the reactive oxygen species, an atmospheric helium-oxygen plasma is also used for the spore inactivation. Results with the helium and the helium-oxygen plasmas are contrasted to highlight how the production of the spore-killing oxygen species may be enhanced

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
