The effect of various chloroactive compounds containing equal amounts of chlorine on respiration enzymes was studied in the spores of Bacillus anthracoides 96. These compounds inhibited the activity of malate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and aconitase but stimulated the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Therefore, the action of these compounds is rather specific, and the inhibition of the activity of some enzymes is one of the factors causing the sporocidal effect. |
