Key words: inactivation, Escherichia coli, supercritical gases, CO2, O2, N2

The kinetics of inactivation of Escherichia coli under the action of pressurized gases
(CO2, O2 and N2) is studied. It is demonstrated that the concentration of survived cells
decreases by 7 orders in the case of CO2 and less than by one order in the case of O2
and N2. An assumption about the major mechanism of bacterial cells inactivation in
the presence of CO2 is proposed.
