Your question is not very clear. Microbes can be killed by radiation and heat. It depends on the amount of each and the duration. Viruses are not considered to be microbes but are infectious particles. They can also be inactivated by heat and radiation, especially UV light, but not by cold.

How do you kill microbes?

Microbes can be killed using various methods such as heat (via boiling or autoclaving), chemical disinfectants, radiation (UV or ionizing radiation), or by using antimicrobial substances like antibiotics or antiseptics. The method chosen depends on the type of microbe, its susceptibility to different treatments, and the specific situation in which it needs to be eliminated.


What four ways can you kill microbes?

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.
