Which of the following statements regarding control of microbial cell types is false? Multiple choice question. Most vegetative cells are readily killed by common control agents. Mycobacterium spp. have a waxy coating that protects them from control agents. Protozoan cysts represent a resting stage of the cell that is more challenging to control. Bacterial endospores are challenging to control because they reside inside the mother cell.
