Abstract
The redox state of glutathione in S. faecalis was examined. Cells taken from the exponential phase of growth contained reduced and oxidized glutathione at concentrations of 2.5 and 1.1 mM, respectively, whereas at the stationary phase the corresponding values were 0.35 and 0.3 mM. Contrary to common opinion, as much as 23-31% of total glutathione in S. faecalis is in its oxidized form.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
