Inactivation mechanisms of plasma treated microorganisms are still major subjects. We have developed a biological assay which evaluates in vivo DNA damage of the viruses treated with non‐thermal atmospheric pressure plasma in air. Different doses of the plasma were applied to wet state of λ phage particles under neutral pH and near the room temperature. From each sample of treated λ phages, DNA was purified and subjected to in vitro DNA packaging reactions. Survival curves of the re‐packaged phages showed an extremely largeDvalue (D= 25 s) compared to the previousDvalue (D= 3 s) obtained from the survival curves of the treated phages. The results indicate the evidence that DNA damage hardly contributed to the inactivation.
