Besides Alcohol, any substances that can inhibit the growth of
microbes ? FORMALDEHYDE because, Formaldehyde kills bacteria by creating a network in the bacteria dehydration. According to Dewi (2010) aldehyde element in it is easy to react with proteins, because when inserted into the media, formalin protein will bind elements ranging from the surface to continue to seep inside. Proteins that have been damaged, will not be used bacteria to metabolize and generate energy, so there is no bacterial growth because they a source of nutrients for growth has been undermined by antibiotics formalin. IODINE because, Mechanism of action of antiseptics against different microorganisms, for example by dehydrating (drying) bacteria, oxidize the bacterial cell, mengkoagulasi (agglomerate) of fluid around the bacterium, or a bacterial cell poison
