The new plasma cluster device releases into the air positive and negative ions, which are harmless to humans and are able to decompose and deactivate airborne substances by chemical reactions. A lot of phenomenological tests of the PCI air purification technology on microbial cells have been conducted. And, in most cases, it has been shown that PCI demonstrate strongly pronounced killing effect. Although, the particular mechanisms of PCI action are still not evident. We studied variations in resistance to PCI among gram-positive airborne microorganisms, as well as some dose-dependent, spatial, cultural and biochemical properties of PCI action in respect of Staphylococcus spp, Enterococcus spp, Micrococcus spp.}, subject = {Clusterion}, language = {en} } @article{ArtmannTrzewikAtes2002, author = {Artmann, Gerhard and Trzewik, J{\"u}rgen and Ates, M.}, title = {A novel method to quantify mechanical tension in cell monolayers.
