Abstract

Octahedral shaped crystals of about 1 mm were grown from catalase of Micrococcus luteus. The space group was determined as P4₂2₁2₁ with a = b = 106.6 A ̊ and c = 106.3 A ̊. In contrast to mammalian catalase, the bacterial catalase contains only one subunit per asymmetric unit. This proves that the four subunits of bacterial catalase are identical.
