Hi, Marmar 845, The easiest way to demonstrate that EIS(CS) destroys bacteria is to point out that it is used to sterilize water on passenger aircraft, space shuttles and the space station. EIS(CS) sterilizes water in vitro, not in vivo, in these instances. No other biosystems (e.g. cells, cell nuclei, mitochondria) are necessary for this sterilizing action to take place. In vitro sterilization by CS was discovered by Nageli in the 1890s, and its strong potency confirmed by Crooks in the 1900s.
Best regards, Matthew
