Explain how hypertonicity can be used as a means of controlling microbial growth?
Hypertonic is net movement of water out of the cell. Cells lose water by osmosis and becomes shriveled which can cause plasmolysis; inhibits cell production.
Definition of microbial growth?
microbial growth is the multiplying by dividing of micro-organisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi etc.
What inhibits population growth?
Disease.
What enzyme inhibits bacterial growth?
polymerase

What enzyme in saliva inhibits bacterial growth?
Lysoszyme
What medical term is an agent that the stops or inhibits the growth of fungi?
Are you thinking of Antifungul medications? Or abstract (studies conducted to isolate thermophollic campylobacter spp?) or are you asking about the study of it? If so, antimicrobial, which in fact inhibits growth.
