[Microflora of the drinking water regenerated from atmospheric moisture condensate in hermetically sealed quarters].

Abstract

In an enclosed environment the species composition of microorganisms was quantified and metabolic processes in microbial cells isolated from the atmospheric condensate and reclaimed water were investigated. It was demonstrated that indicator microorganisms isolated from water and condensate samples (Alcaligenes faecalis, Citrobacter freundii, Aeromonas hydrophila, Acinetobacter-Moraxella) were specific and differed from indicator microorganisms typical of regular tap water.
