Following up a previous observation [Bokorny, 1886], he found that if threads of Spirogyra were treated first with hydrogen peroxide and then with ferrous sulphate solutions, a dark precipitate appeared within the cells. He concluded that the hydrogen peroxide had so increased the permeability of the cel...
