FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to a method for microorganisms control in an aqueous or wet system, wherein the method involves processing the aqueous or wet system with an effective amount of the compound 2,2-dibrom-2-cyano-N-(3-hydroxypropyl)acetamide, 2,2-dibromomalonamide or a mixture thereof. The inhibited microorganisms are sessile microorganisms specified in the species Legionella, whereas the aqueous or wet system has pH 6 or more. The microorganism is the species Legionella reproduced inside a living amoeba.
EFFECT: method for biofilm control in the aqueous or wet system by processing the system with a halogenated biocide.
