Disinfection experiments were performed using Vibrio vulnificus exposed to ozonated artificial seawater (ASW). Residual oxidant concentration was monitored using a modified neutral KI test. Inactivations of V. vulnificus cultures were performed in 500 mL flasks containing ozone-treated seawater. The laboratory scale trials reduced numbers of V. vulnificus an average of 8 log units after 240 seconds with an initial oxidant concentration of 5.3 mg/L.
