 A: The application mechanism of ozone can be summarised into three aspects: (1) it has an effect on the cell membrane and increases its permeability, causing the matters in the cell to flow out and decreasing the cell activity; (2) it can reduce the activity of enzyme, which is essential to the basic metabolism and other activities of bacteria and is an important material for the formation of cells; (3) it destroys the genetic materials in the cells of bacteria and cause it to lose momentum.

While during the elimination of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, the ozone first destroys the cell membrane, restraining the metabolism and growth, and then continues to destroy the tissue inside the membrane till the microorganism die completely.
