Abstract
Bacteria in drinking water, attached or not attached to goethite particles, were disinfected with chlorine. No additional protection was provided to t he bacteria by their attachment to particles, and the limited efficiency of inactivation by chlorine was attributed to the presence of bacterial aggre gates in both types of suspension.
