explain how does phenolics kill or control microbes

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Phenolics kill or control microbes by denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Protein denaturation: Phenolics can denature proteins, which leads to the loss of structural integrity and function in microbial cells. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Membrane disruption: Phenolics can also disrupt the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, causing leakage of cellular contents and cell death. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Phenolics have antimicrobial properties due to their ability to denature proteins and disrupt cell membranes. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The denaturation of proteins and disruption of cell membranes by phenolics lead to the inhibition of microbial growth or death of the microbes. ⚹◊How do phenolics disrupt the cell membranes of microbes to kill or control them?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
