Anti-bacterial biocides

It is an inhibitory agent that, chemically or biologically, inhibits the growth and spread of harmful microorganisms.

Substances with the ability to inhibit the activity of some vital enzymes of bacteria, especially those involved in respiration and glycolysis, release the contents of the bacterial cell into the surrounding environment. On the other hand, by increasing the contact time and concentration, the nitrogen and phosphorus compounds of the bacterial cell are transferred to the external environment and the bacteria are destroyed.

It should be noted that the way different types of bio sides work are different and understanding the mechanism of action of these substances plays an important role in the proper and optimal use of this chemical.

For example, in isothiazolin-based biocides, cell growth occurs in two stages due to the cessation of metabolic pathways. The first stage of rapid inhibition of growth and metabolism occurs, and in the second stage, the invulnerable return to the cell is introduced, as a result of which vital physiological functions in the cells such as growth, respiration, and energy production are disrupted, and cell death occurs due to the destruction of the thiol protein group and the production of free radicals.
