Study of sterilization effect of dielectric barrier discharge on procaryotic microorganisms
Bittnerová, Zuzana ; Ing.Hana Grossmannová, Ph.D. (referee) ; Kozáková, Zdenka (advisor)
Presented bachelor thesis is focused on sterilization effect of dielectric barrier discharge on procaryotic microorganisms. Sterilization is important biomedical and food-industry application and plasma sterilization is one of the method, which are suitable for sterilization of heat and chemical sensitive materials. Biologicaly contaminated samples were treated in dielectric barrier discharge operated at atmospheric pressure. The discharge was generated in argon and in nitrogen. Gram positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis was used as a bioindicator. Bacteria was spread onto the surface of paper and PET material. Efficiency of sterilization was evaluated according to exposure time, plasma power density and process gas. The positive effect of DBD on inactivation of microorganism was observed. The efficiency of the plasma sterilization increases with increasing treatment time. As regards plasma power density, the higher density was used the more effective the sterilization was and time necessary for inactivation of all microorganisms was shorter. Sterility was observed within 60 s while using plasma power density 2,37 W/cm, when using plasma power density of 1,78 W/cm longer treatment time is neccesary. The sterilization was more effective if argon was used as a process gas. Time necessary for the most reduction of microorganisms in argon was 10 s, while using nitrogen the reduction was only 50 %.
