Bacillus popilliae, a cytochrome-containing aerobic organism that lacks catalase and peroxidase, was examined for superoxide dismutase activity. The activity was quite high relative to a wide variety of organisms previously surveyed and was induced by oxygen. No correlation could be made between superoxide dismutase activity and the unexplained death of this organism after completion of exponential growth.
日本金龟子芽孢杆菌是一种含细胞色素的好氧生物，缺乏过氧化氢酶和过氧化物酶，对其超氧化物歧化酶活性进行了检测。相对于之前调查的多种生物，其活性相当高，且由氧气诱导产生。在指数生长期结束后，该生物的超氧化物歧化酶活性与不明原因死亡之间没有相关性。
