Abstract

The ozone disinfection studies were performed using five cultures of organisms: i.e. a yeast Candida parapsilosis. an acid-fast organism Mycobacterium fortuitum, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and poliovirus to determine their relative resistance to ozone in a given completely mixed continuous flow system. Studies were conducted in both clean aqueous system and secondary wastewater effluent. Their resistance to ozone in both cases was observed in the following order: M. fortuitum > poliovirus type 1 Mahoney strain > C. parapsilosis > E. coli > S. typhinturium.
