The effects of various concentrations of @entity2827 solutions (0.1%-3%) and different temperatures (4, 10, 20, 30 and 37 degrees C) on survival of @entity2114 were investigated. It was found that at temperatures between 4 degrees C and 20 degrees C, @entity2114 organisms survived in salt solutions up to 3% @entity1219 . Only the combination of high temperatures, i.e. 30 degrees C and 37 degrees C, with @entity1219 concentrations over 1.5%, reduced cell numbers significantly. It was interesting to note that the addition of small amounts of @entity1219 (0.1%-0.5%) enhanced survival of Leg. pneumophila, suggesting a protective effect of @entity1219 . In order to obtain information about conditions encountered in the environment, the survival experiments were repeated in sterile sea water from the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The marked bacterial die-off, especially at higher temperatures, was not observed in natural sea water. All these results indicate that Leg. pneumophila can survive in the marine environment.
