The Survival of Airborne Microorganisms II. Experiments With Escherichia Coll Near O°c

Abstract

The humidity/death rate relationships of two types of airborne Escherichia coli were studied at approximately 0.5°C over the range 45-100 per cent. Relative humidity. Support was obtained for previous findings with psychrophilic bacteria of minimal death rates at about 70 per cent. R.H.
