The electrohydraulic shock treatment of microorganisms was accomplished by discharging high-voltage electricity (8 to 15 kv) across an electrode gap below the surface of aqueous suspensions of the microorganisms. This treatment was effective in destroying Escherichia coli, Streptococcus faecalis, vegetative cells and spores of Bacillus subtilis, and bacteriophage specific for S. cremoris ML1. The presence of added protein in bacterial suspensions resulted in reduced bactericidal action. Water subjected to electrohydraulic treatment retained a certain amount of toxicity when copper-core electrodes were used to apply the treatment. This was caused by copper liberated from the electrode during electrohydraulic discharge.
通过在微生物水悬浮液表面下方的电极间隙中释放高压电（8至15千伏）来完成对微生物的电液压冲击处理。这种处理对于破坏大肠杆菌、粪链球菌、枯草芽孢杆菌的营养细胞和孢子以及针对乳脂链球菌ML1的噬菌体有效。细菌悬浮液中添加蛋白质会导致杀菌作用降低。当使用铜芯电极进行电液压处理时，经过该处理的水会保留一定量的毒性。这是由电液压放电过程中从电极释放的铜引起的。
