What kind of interactions could be happening between bacterial cells and a strong oxidizing agent like ammonium persulphate?

09 November 2014 1 9K Report

Is the reaction limited to cell walls or does the oxidation continue for endogenous compounds?

Ammonium persulphate was used for oxidizing and killing bacterial cells and we still used solution of persulphate of ammonium to clean bacterial fixed slides.
