This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: LAB 17 - USING PHYSICAL AGENTS TO CONTROL MICROORGANISMS, Using physical agents (anything not chemical) to control microbes. definitions sterilization, pasteurization description The mild heating of milk and other materials to kill particular spoilage organisms or pathogens., temperature types high temperature, Hot air sterilization description Ovens used to sterilize inert materials like glass, metal, oils, and powders., osmotic pressure effect usually static in action, Using physical agents (anything not chemical) to control microbes. physical agent dessication, boiling description 100°C. This temperature will not kill endospores., high temperature types moist heat, dry heat examples Hot air sterilization, Using physical agents (anything not chemical) to control microbes. physical agent osmotic pressure, antibiotic definition A metabolic product produced by one microorganism that inhibits or kills other microorganisms., radiation types gamma radiation, chemotherapeutic antimicrobial chemical definition Synthetic chemicals that can be used therapeutically., Using physical agents (anything not chemical) to control microbes. definitions static, Using physical agents (anything not chemical) to control microbes. physical agent temperature, dry heat action Kills microorganisms through a process of protein oxidation, low temperature action Inhibits microbial growth by slowing down microbial metabolism., Causes adjacent thymine bases on the same strand of DNA to covalently bond to one another (form thymine-thymine dimers). effect Causes deletion mutations., radiation types ultraviolet radiation, disinfectant definition An agents used to disinfect inanimate objects but generally to toxic to use on human tissues.
