Biological Activity
Bromochloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (5-25 mg/L; 3 min) induces potent bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli 8099, resulting in 6.56 and 6.99 log10 reductions in viable counts after 3 min of exposure at 20 mg/L and 25 mg/L respectively, while lower concentrations induce less or no bactericidal effect[1].
Bromochloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (20 mg/L; 3 min) induces elongation of Escherichia coli 8099 cells, suggesting an SOS response, while causing less visible membrane surface damage compared to other treatments[1].
Bromochloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (20 mg/L; 1-20 min post-exposure) induces minimal leakage of potassium and magnesium ions from Escherichia coli 8099 cells, with ion leakage remaining near baseline levels over 20 min of exposure[1].
