Abstract
The induction of the catalase enzyme by n-alkanes and its repression by glucose was investigated in chemostat experiments by shifting the substrate from glucose to hexadecane and back to glucose. Induction of catalase followed immediately after replacing glucose by n-alkanes. However, the activity of the catalase was not repressed by shifting from n-alkanes to glucose. Therefore, glucose appears to control the synthesis of catalase, but not its enzymatic activity.
