Effect Of Mıcrowave To Vıabılıty Of Yeast Cells
Abstract
In this study, cell suspension of Geotrichum candidum and Candida albicans were exposed to microwave. The degrees of inactivation by the various exposure time, initial yeast cells amount and different power of microwave were compared systematically. Maximum efficiency of microwave was observed at 30 sec of exposure time, 1x1012 of initial yeast cell concentration, and 600 W of microwave power for C. albicans, 60 sec of exposure time, 1x1014 of initial yeast cell concentration and 600 W of microwave power for G. candidum. Experimental data shows that microwaves apparently produced lethal effects on the examined yeast by heat generated during microwave exposure.
