BIOLOGY OF BACTERIUM LEPISEPTICUM : II. THE STRUCTURE OF SOME IRON COMPOUNDS WHICH INFLUENCE THE GROWTH OF CERTAIN BACTERIA OF THE HEMOPHILIC, ANAEROBIC, AND HEMORRHAGIC SEPTICEMIA GROUPS.
Inorganic iron substances of known chemical structure have been tested for their ability to function as the X factor in the growth of bacteria of the hemophilic, anaerobic) and hemorrhagic septicemia groups. Each iron compound possessing this biocatalytic activity showed oxygen-absorbing and peroxidase properties. The interrelation of these mechanisms is discussed.
