Sterilization And Disinfection Flashcards
Rhis control is effected in two basic ways
By killing microorganisms
By inhibiting the growth of microorganisms
the control of microorganisms growth is necessary in many practical domains
medicine and food science
control of growth involves the use of …………….. or ……………………., which kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms
