Abstract:
A simple model system was constructed to evaluate the microbistatic and microbicidal properties of gaseous allyl isothiocyanate (AIT) against bacterial cells and fungal conidia deposited on agar surfaces. Salmonella typhimurium , Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 were inhibited when exposed to 1,000 μg AIT per liter. Pseudomonas corrugata , a Cytophaga species, and a fluorescent pseudomonad failed to grow in the presence of 500 μg AIT per liter. Germination and growth of Penicillium expansum , Aspergillus flavus , and Botrytis cinerea conidia was inhibited in the presence of 100 μg AIT per liter. Bactericidal and sporicidal activities varied with strain and increased with time of exposure, AIT concentration, and temperature. E. coli O157:H7 was the most resistant bacterial species tested.

Homogeneous Equilibria for Gaseous Reactions
For gas-phase reactions, the equilibrium constant may be expressed in terms of either the molar concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp) of the reactants and products. A relation between these two K values may be simply derived from the ideal gas equation and the definition of molarity. According to the ideal gas equation:
Respiration and Gaseous Exchange
Respiration involves the exchange of gases, especially oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), between the alveoli and body cells, a process facilitated by blood circulation. As a result, the cardiovascular system, which involves...
