Quantitation of the Tetramethyl-p-Phenylenediamine Oxidase Reaction in Neisseria Species

Peter Jurtshuk and Thomas W. Milligan

Department of Biology, University of Houston, Houston, Texas 77004

ABSTRACT

The tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxidase reaction commonly used in the Kovacs oxidase test was quantitatively estimated for various Neisseria species employing standardized resting cell suspensions. This genus of microorganisms exhibited very high tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxidase rates comparable to that of Azotobacter and Pseudomonas, and this reaction was found to be a valid measurement for the respiratory capability possessed by this group of organisms.
