title: [Catalase activity in Paramecium aurelia].
abstract: The catalase activity of Paramecium aurelia was determined by the procedure of Sinha after bacteria elimination from culture medium. A significant level of catalase activity was shown, higher than in other cell kinds. The role of catalase activity in Paramecium sensitivity to low doses of ionizing radiations is discuted.
