Succinic Dehydrogenase in Protozoa

Nature volume 159, page 374 (1947)Cite this article

Abstract

THERE is, as yet, relatively little information about the occurrence of individual enzymes in Protozoa. We have been successful in demonstrating the presence of a succinic dehydrogenase in homogenates of Paramecium caudatum. This has been done using a modified Cartesian diver respirometer of macro dimensions (40–60 µ1. total volume).
