Relationship between physiochemical properties, aggregation and u.v. inactivation of isolated indigenous spores in water

Aims:  The objective of the study was to compare ultraviolet (u.v.) inactivation kinetics of indigenous aerobic spores in surface water with their laboratory‐cultured spore isolates and to investigate the relationship between physicochemical characteristics and u.v. inactivation kinetics of spore isolates.
