1 APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY, Nov. 1967, p Copyright 1967 American Society for Microbiology Vol. 15, No. 6 Printed in U.S.A. Effect of Microaves on Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis SAMUEL A. GOLDBLITH AND DANIEL I. C. WANG Department of Nutrition and Food Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 2139 Received for publication 14 June 1967 Suspensions of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis spores ere exposed to conventional thermal and microave energy at 2,45 MH. The degrees of inactivation by the different energy sources ere compared quantitatively. During the transient heating period by mricroave energy, approximately a 6 log cycle reduction in viability as encountered for E. coli. This reduction as nearly identical to hat is expected for the same time-temperature exposure to conventional heating. Heating of B. subtilis spores by conventional and microave energy as also carried out at 1 C, in ice and for transient heating. The degree of inactivation by microave energy as again identical to that by conventional heating. In conclusion, inactivation of E. coli and B. subtilis by exposure to microaves is solely due to the thermal energy, and there is no per se effect of rricroaves. There have been several publications in recent years hich have mentioned some possible microbicidal effects of microaves other than those solely due to heat (3-5). An analysis of these papers indicates that in every case there is a lack of specific quantitative data to verify these conclusions. On the other hand, there are papers such as that of Bron and Morrison (2) hich state "no significant destruction of bacteria in aqueous solution occurs from application of radiofrequency fields in the frequency range up to 6 megacycles, except of course the destruction brought about by thermal effects." The ork described herein as initiated to ascertain hether microaves at a frequency of 2,45 MH have a specific bactericidal effect other than that due to heat. This ork utilies the quantitative methods of measuring microbial survival and of studying the effects of conventional thermal energy on the organisms. To species ere studied, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis spores, and the data are reported here. MATERIALS AND METHODS Time-temperature profile of solutions heated in the radar oven. The radar oven used throughout the experiments as Radarange, model no. 1161, series no. 6 (2,45 MH; Raytheon Co., Hooksett, N.H.). Samples to be heated in the oven ere placed in 15-ml Pyrex beakers. These beakers ere approximately 5.6 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height. To obtain the time-temperature profiles during heating, 9.1 ml of solution in a 15-ml beaker as placed in the cavity of the radar oven. The beaker as placed in the geometric center of the radar oven and as supported by a metal pan, approximately 11.5 cm high, 5 cm long, and 43 cm ide. After heating for a designated length of time, the solution temperature as measured by use of a to 11 C thermometer marked in.1 C intervals. Experiments ere also performed to account for the decrease in temperature of the solution due to heat losses after removing the solution from the Radarange. Inactivation ofe. coli. E. coli strain B6 as used for all experiments. The organisms ere cultivated in 5-ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 15 ml of Nutrient Broth (Difco). The cultures ere incubated at 37 C on a rotary shaker for 18 hr. The suspension as then cooled to 4 C and as centrifuged for 4 min at 2,5 rev/min in an International model 2 centrifuge. The supernatant fluid as discarded and the packed cells ere ashed ith 15 ml of cold (4 C).67 M phosphate buffer (ph 7). The suspension as then recentrifuged for 4 min at 2,5 rev/min. The supernatant fluid as again discarded, and the cells ere resuspended in 15 ml of 4 C phosphate buffer. The cell suspension as kept refrigerated until use. To determine the thermal inactivation of E. coli by heat, the Stern and Proctor (6) apparatus as employed. Exactly.25 ml of the bacterial suspension as placed in 15-mm melting-point capillary tubing. The sealed tube as then placed in a constant temperature bath for appropriate lengths of time. After heating, the tube as cooled immediately in an ice bath. The degree of inactivation as determined by plate counts on nutrient agar incubated at 37 C for 24 hr. The folloing procedure as used to determine the degree of inactivation of E. coli by microaves. A 1371

MICROBIOL. 9.1-ml amount of the bacterial suspension as placed in a 15-ml beaker hich as kept in the microave oven for the designated time, then 1. ml of the suspension as removed and sprayed into 9 ml of refrigerated phosphate buffer. The degree of inactivation as determined by viable plate counts as stated above. Inactivation of B. subtilis var. niger. The folloing procedure as used to prepare spores of B. subtilis var. niger. The sporulation medium as composed of: yeast extract,.5%; Casamino Acids,.1%; glucose,.25%; MnSO4, 1 ppm; FeSO4,.1%; agar, 3%; at ph 6.8. Sporulation as complete after incubation for 5 days at 3 C. At this time, microscopic examination shoed the population to be approximately 9 to 95% spores. The spores ere harvested from agar plates by gentle scraping ith glass rods after flooding each plate ith 1 ml of cold sterile distilled ater. The suspension as centrifuged in a refrigerated Sorvall RC2-B centrifuge for 15 min at 15, rev/ min, folloed by a second ashing and centrifugation. The harvested spores ere stored in.67 M phosphate buffer at 4 C until used. In vie of the higher thermal resistance of B. subtilis spores than that of E. coli, the capillary tubing technique of determining thermal death time of this organism as not employed. rhe first method, outlined belo, as used to compare the degree of inactivation during the transient heating period. From previous experiments, the time-temperature profile of the phosphate buffer solution during residence in the Radarange as knon.

Several attempts ere made, adjusting the intensity of the flame so that the time-temperature profile obtained in the Radarange as approximated. During heating over the open flame, 1 ml of the suspension as removed at various times and cooled instantly in 9 ml of refrigerated buffer. Viable counts ere determined by use of tryptone-glucose-extract agar, and incubation as at 3 C for 24 hr. The second method used for comparison on the degree of inactivation of B. subtilis by heat and radar aves as performed at the boiling temperature. Appropriate volumes of B. subtilis suspension ere heated to boiling in the Radarange and over an open flame. At different time intervals, 1 ml of the heated suspension as removed and as placed instantly into 9 ml of refrigerated buffer. The viability of the heated samples as enumerated by use of the technique outlined above. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Time-temperature profile for radar heating.

The data obtained from the capillary tubing inactivation studies ere plotted according to the Arrhenius equation. k = Ae-"E/RT (1) here k = inactivation rate constant, minutes-1; A = collision frequency factor, minutes-l; AE = activation energy, calories per gram-mole; R = gas constant, calories per gram-mole K; T = absolute temperature, 'K. This plot is shon as Fig. 3. Also shon on this plot are the data of Aiba, Humphrey, and Millis (1) for the inactivation of E. coli in the same phosphate solution. Excellent agreement beteen the to studies as obtained. Inactivation of E. coli by heat and radar aves. The inactivation of E. coli exposed for various times in the Radarange is shon in Fig. 4. On the same graph, the theoretical inactivation values due to heat alone are also shon. The latter values ere calculated in the folloing manner. The rate of inactivation of E. coli due to heat obeys first-order kinetics according to the folloing equation. dn/dt = -kn (2) here N = concentration (number per milliliter) T I-- ti TX1+3 ( K I) RECIPROCAL ABSOLUTE TEMP. x 13 ( KK) FIG. 3.

The dependence of the inactivation rate constant on temperature can be expressed by the Arrhenius Equation (see Fig. 3 and equation 1). By separation of the variables of equation 2, the degree of inactivation can be evaluated from the folloing definite integral. _NdN N t ~kdt By use of the time-temperature heating profile of Fig. 2 in conjunction ith the Arrhenius plot of Fig. 4, the value of k can be obtained for any time t. It is therefore possible to predict the degree of inactivation during transient heating by graphically integrating the right side of equation 3. The survival data obtained in the heating of phosphate buffer suspension of E. coli in the Radarange (represented by the triangles in Fig. 4) ere nearly identical to the expected survival curve based on the data obtained in the conventional heating studies (represented by the circles in Fig. 4). Therefore, the inactivation of E. coli hen exposed to radar aves appears to be caused solely by the heating effect. (3)

Inactivation of Bacillus subtilis spores in.67 m phosphate buffer in Radarange and in direct flame. To substantiate these data further, an additional set of experiments as performed ith different amounts of ice added to the E. coli suspension prior to heating in the Radarange. The ice as added to the bacterial suspension to obtain a longer exposure time in the radar field hile maintaining a loer overall temperature. The mixture of ice and buffer as heated in the Radarange for various periods of time. The results of these studies are in Table 1. It appears that exposing E. coli to radar aves up to 1 sec did little or no damage in terms of the viability. These studies reinforce the previous conclusion that the inactivation of E. coli by 2,45 MH microaves is due solely to the thermal effect. Inactivation of B. subtilis spores by heat and radar aves. Inactivation studies ith B. subtilis spore suspensions ere conducted during transient heating in the Radarange as ell as during direct heating ith an open flame. As previously / X 6 stated, the time-temperature profile during direct heating as approximately the same shape as that obtained in the Radarange. The results are plotted in Fig. 5. During the transient heating period, the degree of inactivation due to radar aves and direct heating as identical. It therefore appears that the small amount of inactivation occurring in 6 sec is caused solely by the thermal effect. A second set of experiments as also performed herein the B. subtilis suspensions ere alloed to boil in the Radarange as ell as by direct heating ith an open flame. The results are plotted in Fig. 6. The trend of the results again indicates that radar aves per se have little or no influence on the inactivation of B. subtilis spores. Hoever, these studies may be inaccurate, oing to evaporation of the solutions during heating. Energy input by microaves. The rates of energy absorption by the different solutions used can be calculated from the time-temperature heating profile of Fig. 1. By use of the linear portions of the profiles, the maximal energy absorption rates for these solutions in the microave field ere tabulated (Table 2).

The basic conclusion of this ork is that microaves at 2,45 MH per se cause no destruction of E. coli hen held belo 51 C. The inactivation occurring hen E. coli is exposed to 2,45 MH microaves is due to heat. This conclusion can also be dran from the ork on B. subtilis spores.
