Bacteriocide
Sodium nitrite (Na2NO2) is a chemical compound commonly used in food preservation to prevent bacterial growth and maintain the pink color of cured meats, such as bacon and hot dogs. It is also used in some pharmaceutical applications and as a reducing agent in chemical reactions.
Nitrogen oxide is not typically considered a chemical agent in the context of warfare or chemical weapons. However, it can have harmful effects on health and the environment when present in high concentrations, such as contributing to air pollution and smog.
No, iodine is not a reducing agent. It is commonly used as an oxidizing agent in various chemical reactions.
Yes, hydrogen peroxide can act as a reducing agent in certain chemical reactions.
Propylene glycol has antimicrobial properties and can inhibit the growth of some bacteria. However, in order to effectively kill bacteria, propylene glycol would need to be used in high concentrations, which may not be safe for certain applications. It is commonly used as a preservative in products to prevent bacterial growth rather than as a direct antibacterial agent.
A bacteriostat is a bacterial or chemical agent which causes bacteriostasis.
Antimicrobial agent.

Bacteriostatic agents inhibit bacterial growth by preventing their reproduction and division, but do not directly kill the bacteria. Examples include certain antibiotics, refrigeration, and desiccation.
Agar: Acts as a solidifying agent to provide a solid surface for bacterial growth. Beef extract: Provides amino acids, vitamins, and minerals as nutrients for bacterial growth. Peptone: Another source of amino acids and peptides for bacterial metabolism. Sodium chloride: Provides essential ions for bacterial cell function and maintaining osmotic balance.
Broth dilution is a method used in microbiology to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antimicrobial agent. It involves serially diluting the antimicrobial agent in liquid growth medium (broth) containing the bacteria being tested. The lowest concentration of the antimicrobial agent that inhibits visible bacterial growth is considered the MIC.
physically removes the chemical agent absorbs the chemical agent neutralizes the chemical agent
Rose Bengal agar is used for the selective isolation of fungi, particularly Cryptococcus species. Rose Bengal inhibits bacterial growth while allowing fungal growth. Streptomycin solution is added to the medium as an antimicrobial agent to further inhibit bacterial growth and enhance the selection of fungal colonies.

Brucellosis
Agar is a chemical obtained from brown algae . It is actually a solidifying agent and used to prepare media for microbial growth .
It depends on the chemical agent, of course.
