Abstract
In the reported study, experiments were performed in order to determine the microbicidal effect of hydrogen peroxide solutions as a function of concentration and temperature using Bacillus subtilis spores as test organisms. Moreover the sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide of other microorganisms, especially mold fungus and yeasts was investigated. For optimum microbicidal effects hydrogen peroxide solutions in concentrations of about 50% are recommended. A short-time destruction of the most resistant Bacillus spores is only observed at temperatures above 80 degree C (176 degree F), whereas mold fungus spores and yeast cells are easily killed by hydrogen peroxide at far lower temperatures.
