EFFECT OF PLAGUE TOXIN ON RESPIRATORY ENZYMES,

Abstract

Intraperitoneal injection of white rats with plague toxin reduces succinic dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activity and activates catalase. Plague toxin has no effect on the activity of succinic dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, and catalase in in vitro experiments. The action of toxic fractions of the plague bacillus on the respiration of white rats is based not on the direct but on the indirect effect of the toxin on the activity of the oxidation enzymes of the mitochondria.
