Mechanism of Inactivation of Microorganisms by Combined Chlorine

Abstract

Describes the mechanisms of inactivation of combined chlorine on bacteria, showing that chloramines and chlorine react differently with nucleic components of RNA and DNA and that some chloramine reactions with these components may be reversible. Published in 1987.
