Toxohormone-like factor from microorganisms with impaired respiration.
A substance that significantly depresses liver catalase values when injected into mice has been isolated from biochemical mutants of yeasts and staphylococci with impaired respiration. This is considered as an important argument in support of the Warburg hypothesis on the origin of cancer cells.
