Hydrogen Peroxide Kill Yeast

On whether hydrogen peroxide can kill yeast

In the world, it is doubtful whether hydrogen peroxide can kill yeast. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties, and its role in matter is mostly changed by its nature.

Yeast, a microbial thing, exists in the world and lives in a suitable environment. The temperature and humidity of the environment, and the supply of nutrients, are all essential for its survival.

Hydrogen peroxide is close to yeast, and its oxidizing properties or damage to yeast. The body of yeast contains various biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. The oxygen atom of hydrogen peroxide has strong activity and can react with the molecules in yeast to disrupt its structure and function.

View protein, which is the basis for yeast growth. Hydrogen peroxide may cause the protein chain to be disrupted and lose its activity, causing yeast metabolism to be chaotic. Nucleic acid division hereditary information, hydrogen peroxide treatment, or make its bases change and chain break, making yeast lose its ability to pass on.

Of course, the existence of yeast also has resistance to stress. If the environment is suitable, yeast can grow a protective film, or initiate a mechanism to control damage. In case of low-concentration hydrogen peroxide, yeast may have to survive for a while with this resistance.

Therefore, hydrogen peroxide has the ability to kill yeast, but the effect is related to the concentration, the duration of action, and the environment in which the yeast is located. High-concentration hydrogen peroxide, long-term action, yeast is difficult to survive; if the concentration is low, the duration is short, and the yeast is in an excellent environment, or can survive.
