Abstract

The carbon fines (CF) carrying Klebsiella pneumoniae transfer the bacteria to heterotrophic biofilms, promoting the successful colonization of the coliform in the biofilm. Both K. pneumoniae and CF are detached and disinfected faster than the total population following chlorination. A limited population of coliforms and CFs resist chlorination and persist in the biofilm. Coliforms and other organisms that survive biological treatment act as inocula for the drinking water distribution system and attachment to CFs plays a role in the effectiveness of this process.
