Disintegration of Bacterial Film by Electrochemically Activated Water Solution

  • MORPHOLOGY AND PATHOMORPHOLOGY
  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

The structure of bacterial film formed at the inner surface of the recirculation reactor tube, is studied. The surface relief of the biofilm was visualized by scanning electron microscopy. The effect of electrochemically activated water solution on the film formed from planktonic lactobacteria or E. coli was studied. Treatment with electrochemically activated water solution destroys cells and polymeric matrix of the biofilm.
