STERILIZATION ACTION OF CHLORINE AND IODINE ON BACTERIA AND VIRUSES IN WATER SYSTEMS
Abstract
Effect of Iodine on Bacterial RNA Virus 9f2): Iodine reacts best with some viruses at pH values between 6 and 8, and at much higher or lower pH than delimited by the range, the inactivation of virus will be materially reduced. The presence of the iodide ion will greatly reduce the inactivation of some viruses. Probable Mode of Action of Iodine on Bacterial Virus (f2): The reaction of iodine with sulfhydryl groups of the protein coat apparently is not responsible for the complete inactivation of the virus. Iodination of the tyrosin was effective provided no significant amounts of iodide was in the system.
