Best Answer

we can identify dead microorganisms by they nucleic acid (heritage matter).

Nucleic acids are in all viable cells that can maintain even in dead cells.

for detection of nucleic acid in a specimen, we must degrade the cell's membrane , extract the nucleic acid, and then detect them by a method such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
