Short summary
This article highlights the interactions between H2O2 and microorganisms within the cloud system. Experiments performed in microcosms with bacterial strains isolated from clouds showed that H2O2 strongly impacted the microbial energetic state. The ATP depletion measured in the presence of H2O2 was not due to the loss of cell viability. The strong correlation between ATP and H2O2 based on the analysis of 37 real cloud samples confirmed that H2O2 modulates the metabolism of cloud microorganisms.
