Summary Introduction
To determine
The reason behind the death of cells by denaturation.
Introduction:
Disinfectant and antiseptic agents are used to control the microbial population. These are the chemical agents that have adverse affect on microbe’s cell walls, proteins, DNA, or cytoplasmic membrane. The effects of chemical agents vary with temperature, time of exposure, and the amount of harmful organic matter in the environment.
