Hydrogen Peroxide and Bacteria Effects

On the Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on Bacteria
Hydrogen peroxide has a considerable effect on bacteria. It is active and can interact with bacteria to produce various effects.

The essence of hydrogen peroxide is strong oxidizing. This property also, if it comes to the body of bacteria, it can break its wall membrane. The wall membrane of bacteria is like a human shell, protecting all kinds of physiology within it. The strong oxidizing power of hydrogen peroxide, such as a sharp blade breaking a cocoon, damages the wall membrane. As soon as the wall membrane is broken, it will communicate inside and outside, the contents of the cell will leak out, and the heterogeneity of the cell will enter the inside, and the steady state of bacteria will be chaotic.

And hydrogen peroxide can disturb the metabolism of bacteria. The survival of bacteria depends on the orderly metabolism. Metabolists, if the operation of the factory is orderly, can survive and multiply. And hydrogen peroxide enters it, if foreign objects disturb the factory, the activity of enzymes will change. Enzymes are the hub of metabolism, and if their activity changes, the metabolic process will be chaotic. The metabolism of sugar and the synthesis of proteins are all affected by it. Metabolism disorder, the vitality of bacteria will be blocked, growth will be slow and reproduction will be stagnant.

Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide can cause damage to the genetic material of bacteria. Genetic material is the foundation of the survival of bacteria, just like the regulations of a country. The oxidizing power of hydrogen peroxide can change the structure of genetic material. The order of bases is disordered, and the chain is broken from time to time. Genetic material is damaged, and the great cause of bacterial inheritance is difficult to achieve. Even if it exists in the world, it also loses its authenticity.

From this perspective, hydrogen peroxide has a deep impact on bacteria. Or damage its body, or disrupt its metabolism, or hurt its inheritance. However, bacteria are not sitting still. Some resistant bacteria can resist the attack of hydrogen peroxide. Or produce special enzymes to dissolve the poison of hydrogen peroxide; or repair its wall membranes to increase its antioxidant energy.

All in all, the relationship between hydrogen peroxide and bacteria is complex. Exploring its details is of great benefit to medicine and industry. Doctors can use hydrogen peroxide to make bacteria and prevent diseases, and workers can rely on its sterilization and preservation. Only by understanding the effects of the two can we make good use of them and use them for the world.
