Question

Compounds capable of function as antimicrobial agent through oxidative mechanism area

Answer 1

Zinc oxide NPs can split H2O into H+ and can react with dissolved oxygen to generate H2O2 in an environment containing water and oxygen. These ROS then penetrate the cell membrane to kill bacteria.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Compounds capable of function as antimicrobial agent through oxidative mechanism area are Inhibitors of cell wall production, depolarization of the cell membrane, protein synthesis, nucleotide synthesis, and metabolic processes in bacteria.
