Bacteria are rich source of enzymes and enzymes are proteins that are very fragile to heat treatment as they easily denature. DNA and RNA that carries the genetic information of the microbe can also be easily destroyed by any kind of sterilizing treatment, like heating, radiation or chemical treatment. |
