Abstract
Bacillus dysenteriae possesses relatively feeble reducing powers. Although it contains no catalase, its behavior resembles that of catalase-containing rather than of peroxide-forming bacteria. This behavior may be due to peroxidase activity, which is probably of some importance for classifying bacteria. Bacteriophage itself appears to have no effect on oxidation-reduction potential, but it inhibits the usual fall in potential of B. dysenteriae cultures by inhibiting growth and metabolic activities.
