Chemical method of microbial growth control:
gaseous agents
freezing
gamma radiation
desiccation
In this case, the correct answer is gaseous agents. An example of these are the peroxygens such as benzoyl peroxide or ozone gas which are oxidizing agent that are able to produce free radicals that destroy several macromolecules in the cell
Chemical method of microbial growth control: gaseous agents freezing gamma radiation desiccation
Which of the following antimicrobial methods would you choose to control microbial growth for each item on the lis below? Hint, you can use more than one antimicrobial method for the same item. Antimicrobial methods: Alcohols, Autoclaving, Boiling, Bromine, Chlorine, Desiccation, Filtration, Fluoride, Formaldehyde, Freezing, Gaseous agents, Glutaraldehyde, Hot air, Incineration, lodine, lonizing radiation, Lyophilization Mercury, Nonionizing radiation, Osmotic pressure, Oxidizing agents, Pasteurization, Phenolics, Refrigeration, Silver nitrate, Surfactants, Ultrahigh temperature sterilization (UHT) Fruit (not dried) - Boiling, Pasterization Patient dressings-...

Antimicrobial methods target different parts of a microbial cell or structure Enveloped viruses have a membrane which has proteins and phospholipids that enhance attachment, the first stage of viral replication. Therefore, damage to the envelope prevents viral replication. Non enveloped viruses are able to tolerate harsher environments. Proteins regulate cellular metabolism and form cell structure, damage to protein bonds through heat or certain chemicals denature proteins and render them non functional. Chemicals radiation and heat can alter nucleic acids which...

For what purpose are gamma rays used as a means of microbial control?
Label the image to renview the relative resistance of various microbes to microbial control agents
In this experiment we are testing the effect of different chemical concentrations on microbial growth. Let’s say instead we used a 1.0% solution of Bleach against a low, medium, and high amount of microbes. How would you expect the growth numbers to look in this experiment? In restaurants, most food contact surfaces are smooth and lack cavities/pores in their surface. What is the advantage of that for microbial control? If soaps are not powerful at killing microbes, why are they used...
