The level of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase was determined in obligately thermophilic bacteria after growth either in the presence of methyl viologen (paraquat) or exposed to an increased atmospheric oxygen concentration. In general, the superoxide dismutase level in these organisms was not altered by paraquat addition and had a varied response to oxygenation. Incorporation of paraquat in the growth medium resulted in minimally three-fold higher levels of catalase. The peroxidase level varied as a response to oxygen stress whereas cellular catalase levels were generally higher.
在嗜热细菌于甲基紫精（百草枯）存在的情况下生长或暴露于升高的大气氧浓度后，测定了超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶和过氧化物酶的水平。总体而言，这些生物体中的超氧化物歧化酶水平不会因添加百草枯而改变，并且对氧合有不同的反应。在生长培养基中加入百草枯导致过氧化氢酶水平至少提高三倍。过氧化物酶水平因氧应激而变化，而细胞过氧化氢酶水平通常较高。
