Abstract
- Study is first to investigate the possibility of transfer of bacteria through vapor.
- Bacteria exhibited transfer in the absence of mechanical disturbances in reactors.
- Gram positive smaller bacteria transferred more than gram negative larger bacteria.
- Transfer probability increases at optimal growth temperature of mesophilic bacteria.
- Salinity lowers bacterial survival and has synergistic effect with temperature.
