Abstract
This literature survey contains information pertaining to bacterial aerosol viability and electrostatic surface charges of bacteria. The variables involved in the survival of bacterial aerosols include the method of droplet formation and the intrinsic characteristics of the gas in which the bacteria-containing droplets are suspended. The survey contains information on overall microbial aerosol studies, assay techniques, cell ions, the effect of air composition, the cell surface, radiation effects on aerosols, and the action and the possible components of relative humidity involved in the viability of bacterial aerosols. A small portion of the investigation deals with the survival of mycoplasmas, L-forms, and algae in air.
Also there are sections reviewing the characteristics of aerosol protecting agents, aerosols of Serratia marcescens and the pigmentation produced by the bacteria, electrostatic forces relevant to bacterial aerosol deposition, and the changes on cell walls.
