| Abstract: | Environmental and clinical isolates ofLegionella pneumophila were grown in minimal-salts media (no organic compounds added) in associated with various green algae and cyanobacteria. Growth was observed to level off after a period of hours to days with no subsequent significant loss in the numbers of viableL. pneumophila even several days after growth had ceased. Transfer to new algal or cyanobacterial cultures resulted in a new burst of growty by theL. pneumophila. |
