Microbes can be killed through the use of heat, such as boiling or autoclaving, which denatures their proteins. Chemical agents, like disinfectants and antibiotics, can also be effective in killing microbes by disrupting their cellular processes. Physical methods, such as UV radiation or filtration, can damage microbial DNA or physically trap and kill them. Lastly, some antimicrobial substances, like alcohols and hydrogen peroxide, can disrupt microbial cell membranes and cause cell lysis.
