  • . Moreover, the concentration used has also a considerable influence on the mechanism. As examples at relatively low concentrations, the amphiphilic agents (surfactants) are membrane permeabilisers whereas at high concentrations, the penetration of these compounds in the cytoplasmic leads to protein

Moreover, some formulations contain mixtures of biocides in order to obtain additive or synergistic effects [18][19][20][21]. iii
