“…The variety of methods for creating plasma and the ability to vary its parameters over a wide range determine the distribution of plasma in a large number of technological fields [1]. Thus, physical plasma is already actively used in the modification of surfaces and liquids [2][3][4], the purification of gas and liquid media [5][6][7][8], the synthesis of micro-and nanomaterials [9], medicine [10][11][12][13][14], agriculture [15][16][17][18][19][20], food processing [21,22], etc., and is also planned for use in the future in areas such as energy industry (controlled fusion), space agriculture, and space medicine [23].…”

Cold atmospheric plasma has become a widespread tool in bacterial decontamination, harnessing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species to neutralize bacteria on surfaces and in the air. This technology is often employed in healthcare, food processing, water treatment, etc. One of the most energy-efficient and universal methods for creating cold atmospheric plasma is the initiation of a piezoelectric direct discharge. The article presents a study of the bactericidal effect of piezoelectric direct discharge plasma generated using the multifunctional source “CAPKO”. This device allows for the modification of the method of plasma generation “on the fly” by replacing a unit (cap) on the working device. The results of the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in a buffer solution in the modes of direct discharge in air and a plasma jet with an argon flow are presented. The bactericidal effect of these types of plasma against the bacteria E. coli BL21 (DE3) was studied. The issues of scaling the treatment technique are considered.
