Microbial Control
Microorganisms are widely found in nature, mostly single-celled organisms, and their life activities are susceptible to various factors. Most microorganisms are beneficial to humans, animals and plants, and are beneficial to industry, agriculture and pharmaceutical production, but also harmful to humans, such as the deterioration of food, industrial and agricultural products, the pollution of animal and plant cells or microbial cultures in the laboratory, pollution of bacteria in the fermentation industry; animals and plants are infected by pathogenic microorganisms and suffer from various infectious diseases. Therefore, how to control the growth of microorganisms or eliminate harmful microorganisms is of great significance in practical applications. Control of microbial growth means to inhibit or prevent growth of microorganisms. This control is affected in two basic ways: (1) by killing microorganisms or (2) by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.
