How the temperature, PH, Uv, and osmotic pressure affect microorganisms
Added by Cynthia J.
Step 1
If the temperature is too low, their metabolic activities slow down, and they may become dormant. On the other hand, if the temperature is too high, they may denature their proteins and enzymes, leading to cell death. Show more…
