Scientists in energy and electronics and in food and agriculture set out basic information on the physical technique of gas plasma sterilization, for students, engineers, and laboratory scientists. Their topics include the theoretical background and mode of action of gas plasma sterilization, nitrogen gas plasma for remote sterilization and clarification of sterilization, fungal and mycotoxin inactivation by cold plasma sterilization, disinfecting seed-borne fungi and bacteria by plasma with alternating-current high-voltage discharge, and misinterpreting microbiological data on gas plasma sterilization: avoiding the pitfalls.
