What are microbial agents?
Antimicrobial agents are compounds that inhibit or kill microbes or microorganims, e.g bacteria and fungi. Antimicrobial agents can be chemicals or biological in compostion. Chemical based antimicrobial agents are antibiotics where are biological based are antimicrobial peptides. Antimicrobial agents inhibit or kill microbes by breaking there cell wall or inhibiting some metabolism or bind to DNA and prevent the replication, thus stopping the multiplication of the microbes in the body
The complex chemical compounds exhibiting antimicrobial activity are known as?
antibiotics
What is a physical or chemical procedure to destroy microbial life?
Sterilization
What is the treatment of disease with chemical substances called?
It is called chemical treatment
A special group of chemical substances that are used to treat diseases caused by microbes?
antimicrobial agents

Desirable characteristic of an ideal antimicrobial agent?
There are 6 factors that influence the efficacy of antimicrobial agents. They are, number and location of microorganisms, innate resistance of microorganisms, the potency of disinfectants, organic and inorganic matter, duration of exposure, and physical and chemical factors.
What is the use of a refrigerator in microbiology?
it is used to preserve media or chemical reagents. if microbial samples were present, it slows down its metabolism. if the microbial samples were psychrophiles, it enhances their growth.
What is the chemical used to detect microbial starch hydrolysis on starch plates?

It is called chemical treatment
What are the applications of microbial activities?
The application of microbial substance activities are just beginning to be understood, but are now used to clean up sewer sludge and some small chemical spills.
What is a dilution series?
the dilution of two or more solutions of sulfate and chemical microbial sists of plaque
