Homogeneous Bacterial Aerosols Produced with a Spinning Disk Aerosol Generator

Abstract

Homogeneous bacterial aerosols with median diameters between 1 and 4 microns and geometric standard deviations averaging 1.1 were produced with a commercial spinning disk aerosol generator from aqueous suspensions of Bacillus subtilis var. niger spores containing various amounts of dextran to regulate the aerosol particle size.
