title: Superoxide dismutase in Bacillus popilliae.
abstract: Vegetative cells of Bacillus popilliae were devoid of catalase but had high levels of superoxide dismutase. This provides further support of a theory that oxygen tolerance by an organism is more dependent on superoxide dismutase than on catalase.
