Abstract
The kinetics of inactivation of Escherichia coli under the action of pressurized gases (CO2, O2 and N2) is studied. It is demonstrated that the concentration of surviving cells decreases by seven orders of magnitude in the case of CO2 and less than by one order in the case of O2 and N2. An assumption about how bacterial cells are inactivated in the presence of CO2 is proposed.
