Abstract
1. 1. Cytochrome oxidase was demonstrated in homogenates of Hymenolepis diminuta using cytochrome c as the substrate. 2. 2. Succinic dehydrogenase was demonstrated. The cytochrome system was less satisfactory than methylene blue for transfer of electrons from succinate to oxygen. The dehydrogenase is inhibited by malonate. 3. 3. Aged homogenates retain succinic dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activity but cannot support succinate oxidation via the cytochrome system. This is interpreted in terms of a labile intermediate step between succinic dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase. 4. 4. Recent criticisms of the methodology of parasite chemistry are briefly discussed.
