Electrochemical reduction of oxygen catalyzed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
, 2010 Pseudomonas aeruginosa has already been shown to catalyze oxidation processes in the anode compartment of a microbial fuel cell. The present study focuses on the reverse capacity of the bacterium, i.e. reduction catalysis. Here we show that P. aeruginosa

Characterization of peroxidase and catalase genes in defense mechanisms of Physcomitrella patens [PDF]
, 2019 Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and the hypersensitive response (HR) are two important induced defense mechanisms in plants. SAR is the development of an enhanced resistance to a pathogen due to a prior encounter.

Role of Pre-Sowing Gamma-Irradiation of Seeds in the Salt-Resistance of Phaseolus vulgaris L. [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2020 Studies of the effect of low-dose γ-radiation on the resistance of plants to abiotic stresses have recently attracted great attention of researchers due to the constant environmental degradation. In separate examples, it was shown that γ-radiation in low

The discovery of acatalasemia (lack of catalase in the blood) and its significance in human genetics
Proceedings of the Japan Academy. Series B, Physical and Biological SciencesCatalase, a heme-containing antioxidant enzyme, was once considered essential for human survival. It is widely distributed in the human body and is particularly abundant in red blood cells. The term “acatalasemia” first appeared in the Proceedings of the
