The surface of bean roots demonstrates an intense peroxidase activity which was detected by hydrogen peroxide dependent formation of chromogen from chloronaphthol or dianisidine. Other peroxidase functions, oxidation of indoleacetic acid and NADPH, were catalysed by intact roots and were stimulated by Mn2+ and p-coumarate. Oxidation of NADPH involved superoxide anion [Formula: see text] and hydrogen peroxide formation. Molecular sizing chromatography of root washes demonstrated NADPH oxidase and peroxidase to be associated with higher weight components than indoleacetic acid oxidase. Root surface and root wash peroxidase displayed optimal activity between pH 7 and 8, whereas both sources of indoleacetic acid oxidase were more active at acidic pH. Native poly aery lamide gel electrophoresis of sterile root washes displayed two fast-moving anodic bands, whereas homogenates of the plant roots had several slower moving bands in addition.

Abstract Glucose levels in serum, plasma, and urine are determined rapidly and conveniently by a new glucose oxidase method employing a polarographic oxygen sensor with a circuit modified to record the rate of oxygen consumption. The maximum apparent rate of oxygen consumption relative to the rate obtained with a glucose standard provides a direct measure of the glucose level in the sample; results are obtainable within 20 sec. after sample (100 µl.) addition and within 3 min. after a blood sample is withdrawn from a patient. Interferences associated with prior colorimetric glucose oxidase methods are avoided by measuring oxygen consumption instead of hydrogen peroxide formation. The method is described and results are presented showing a standard deviation of less than 1.5% on replicate determinations and a bias of 1% with respect to data obtained on the same samples by the automated ferricyanide method.
