Production of Hydrogen Peroxide by Bacteria

Abstract

A STUDY of phenomena of auto-inhibition in bacterial cultures was published by McLeod and Govenlock [1921] in 1921 showing that a series of investigations on this subject had led to the demonstration of such phenomena in connection with the growth of many bacteria. C. Eijkman's results [1904 and 1906, 1, 2], which have been more questioned than accepted, were fully confirmed.
