An attempt has been made to use low-voltage alternating current to kill microorganisms such as Escherichia coli. The bactericidal effect depends on the energy passing through the suspension and on the time during which the cells are left standing in the medium after the treatment. Most of the toxicity is due to an indirect effect developed with unalterable electrodes in the presence of chlorides in the medium. This method might be applied to eliminate pollution of natural waters.
人们已尝试使用低压交流电来杀灭诸如大肠杆菌等微生物。杀菌效果取决于通过悬浮液的能量以及处理后细胞在培养基中静置的时间。大部分毒性是由于在培养基中存在氯化物时,不可改变的电极产生的间接效应所致。这种方法或许可用于消除天然水体的污染。
