Abstract
In the present series, the following metabolites were most effective in producing reactivation: (1) Heat "killed": Na citrate, lactic acid, and oxalacetic acid; (2) Cl "killed": Na citrate, malic acid, and oxalacetic acid; (3) H2O2 "killed": Na citrate, lactic acid, cis-aconitic acid; (4) Zephiran chloride "killed": Na citrate, lactic acid, cis-aconitic acid, and isocitric acid; (5) ethyl alcohol "killed": cis-aconitic acid, alpha-keto-glutaric acid, succinic acid, etc.; (6) the combination of 11 metabolites produced the highest reactivation.Keywords
