Catalase-aminotriazole assay, an invalid method for measurement of hydrogen peroxide production by wood decay fungi.
نویسنده
چکیده
The catalase-aminotriazole assay for determination of hydrogen peroxide apparently cannot be used for measuring hydrogen peroxide production in crude preparations from wood decay fungi because of materials in the crude preparations that interfere with the test.

Decay mechanisms of brown-rot fungi
Brown-rot fungi, e.g. the dryrot fungus (Serpula lacrymans), are the most harmful microorganisms in wood in service in Finland and in temperate regions. Brownrot fungi cause wood decay primarly by attacking the carbohydrates of the cell walls, leaving lignin essentially undigested. At the initial stage of the decay, the brown-rot fungi seem to operate by a mechanism which cause extensive change...
متن کاملDoxorubicin increases intracellular hydrogen peroxide in PC3 prostate cancer cells.
We studied the effect of doxorubicin on the production of hydrogen peroxide by PC3 human prostate cancer cells, using a sensitive assay based on aminotriazole-mediated inhibition of catalase. PC3 cells exposed to increasing concentrations of doxorubicin had an increase in intracellular hydrogen peroxide that was concentration-dependent up to 1 microM doxorubicin. The apparent hydrogen peroxide ...
متن کاملHuman red cells scavenge extracellular hydrogen peroxide and inhibit formation of hypochlorous acid and hydroxyl radical.
The ability of intact human red cells to scavenge extracellularly generated H2O2 and O2-, and to prevent formation of hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid has been examined. Red cells inhibited oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by H2O2. Cells treated with aminotriazole no longer inhibited, indicating that protection was almost entirely due to intracellular catalase. Contribution by the GSH syst...
متن کاملActive involvement of catalase during hemolytic crises of favism.
The endemic occurrence of favism in certain Mediterranean regions provided an investigative opportunity for testing in vivo the validity of claims as to the role of catalase in protecting human erythrocytes against peroxidative injury. Reduced activity of catalase was found in the erythrocytes of six boys who were deficient in erythrocytic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and who were s...
متن کاملPhotometric determination of catalase activity.
Catalase activity may be measured quantitatively by the method of von Euler and Josephson (1) by allowing the enzyme solution to react with hydrogen peroxide for varying periods of time and measuring the excess peroxide remaining by titration with potassium permanganate. The similarity of this titration procedure to the assay of ascorbic acid by titration with 2:6-dichlorophenolindophenol sugge...
