Mechanisms of inactivation of Candida humilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae by pulsed electric fields.

Journal: Bioelectrochemistry (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
PMID: 28063751

Abstract

AIMS: This study aimed to determine how electric field strength, pulse width and shape, and specific energy input relate to the effect of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on viability and membrane permeabilization in Candida humilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae suspended in potassium phosphate buffer.
