Abstract
Catalase formation by B. fragilis was immediately stopped on addition of glucose to a culture growing in peptone medium. Each of 8 other carbohydrates fermented by the organism also repressed catalase formation. Without added carbohydrate the strains produced relatively large amounts of catalase (25-50 U[units]/mg of protein).This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
