[On pseudomonas aerugenosa immunity to microwave energies].
Experiments were performed to investigate immunity of a variety of water-suspended Pseudomonas aerugenosa to microwave energies. The objectives were to determine lethal temperatures for different Pseudomonas aerugenosa strains in water stream and to test whether Pseudomonas aerugenosa are adaptable to repeated microwave exposure.In the experiments, Pseudomonas aerugenosa died when water temperature was in the interval from 60 to 65 degrees C. It was also shown that Pseudomonas aerugenosa do not adapt to microwave energies. Therefore, we obtained evidence that microwave energies can be effectively used for water decontamination and heating in advanced life support systems.
