title: Chlorpromazine as permeabilizer and reagent for detection of microbial peroxidase and peroxidaselike activities.
abstract: Chlorpromazine was used to perform a test for the detection of microbial peroxidase activities. The compound acts as both a cell permeabilizer and a reagent in the procedure developed which allows the detection of peroxidase and peroxidase like reactions both semiquantitatively in whole cell determinations and quantitatively in cell-free supernatants.
