Destruction cavitation action on the microbial cells sizes

Abstract

Cavitation influence has different destruction action on the microbial cells that depends on their size, shape, type of bacteria, etc, i.e. it depends on the morphological features of the cells. The effectiveness of this process also depends on the nature of bubbled gas into reactive cavitation zone. Ar/US has shown the highest effectivity of cells destruction conditions regardless of the size of their cells compared with Не/US, О2/US and СО2/US. Concerning of gas/US-action on the type of microorganisms it was found that yeast cells were destroyed most rapidly, because their sizes are several times larger than bacterial cells.
