Abstract
A large number of nitrite determinations were made on mixtures of nitrate, glucose, and expressed plant juices to which a sufficient concn. of toluene to prevent the growth of microorganisms had been added and maintained. The results do not support the theory that there are generally present in higher green plants substances which cata-lytically reduce nitrates to nitrites.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
