Description
Gülden Kılıç, Gökhan Gurur Gökmen, and Yogendra Kumar Mishra report a 2026 study making zinc oxide particles with help from yeasts found in fermented drinks. The yeasts came from kombucha and beetroot kvass. Zinc oxide can kill bacteria, but making it usually needs harsh chemicals and high energy use.
The yeasts produced the particles outside their cells, and the team spread them as thin films by spin coating. Light and microscope tests confirmed the particles and showed even nanoscale films. Films made this way are of interest for food packaging and medical surfaces that resist bacteria. The study links how the films are structured to how well they fight germs.
