Most of the time, Ultraviolet radiation will kill or badly hurt most yeasts. As there are so many different kind of yeasts, each different kind of yeast will have a different reaction to this kind of light. There are also certain mutations that may cause yeast to be ultraviolet light sensitive or resistant.

Cells don't do fermentation, the yeast does. Cells don't do fermentation, the yeast does.
Fermentation is a process that converts sugar to acids, gases or alcohol. In yeast the fermentation process is carried our in beers, wines and other alcohol.
Three concepts of yeast behaviors are fermentation, aerobic or anaerobic respiration, and nitrification. Fermentation converts sugar to acids. Nitrification is the conversion of ammonia to nitrites.
Alcohol is produced as a byproduct of live yeast. The yeast digests the sugar from the mash and excretes alcohol. The process is called 'Fermentation'
Alcohol fermentation is done by yeast and some kinds of bacteria. These microorganisms convert sugars in ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcoholic fermentation begins after glucose enters the cell. The glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid. This pyruvic acid is then converted to CO2, ethanol, and energy for the cell. Humans have long taken advantage of this process in making bread, beer, and wine. In these three product the same microorganism is used: the common yeast or Saccharomyces Cerevisae.http://www.tempeh.info/fermentation/alcohol-fermentation.php
