Greenberg and associates (2, 3) in pigeon liver homogenates and was later found in a variety of bacterial species, including Clostridium cylindrosporum (4), Micrococcus aerogenes (5), and others (6). The enzyme has been purified from acetone powders of pigeon liver (7), from Micrococcus aerogenes (6), and from Clostridium cylindrosporum (8, 9). This paper describes the purification of the enzym...

In the course of a study of the properties of the homogentisic acid oxidase of rat liver the activity of other animal tissues has been briefly examined. The enzyme has been reported to occur in beef and hog (I), guinea pig (2), and rabbit (3) livers and in a strain of Pseudomonas (4). The experiments reported here show that the enzyme is also present in pigeon liver and in guinea pig, rabbit, p...
