Polarographic assay of hydrogen peroxide accumulation in microbial cultures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described for determining low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide by using a polarographic oxygen electrode to measure the oxygen released into solution on addition of catalase. A sample can be assayed directly without prior manipulation in 3 min. The method is capable of assaying hydrogen peroxide concentrations as low as 7 muM. The method has proved extremely useful for the assay of hydrogen peroxide secreted into milk by lactic acid bacteria.

The formation of hydrogen peroxide during the oxidation of NADH by purified preparations of cytochrome o has been demonstrated by employing three independent methods: polarographic, colorimetric, and fluorometric. The first two methods were used to assay for the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and showed that hydrogen peroxide did accumulate as a product, but only about 30% of the oxygen cons...
