1. A succinic dehydrogenase preparation has been examined for its reducing action on symmetrical trinitrotoluene.
The preparation rapidly reduces the toluene derivative to a product which behaves on diazotization like the 4 amino compound.
2. The reduction is influenced by various agents to a similar extent and in much the same manner as has been established by others for the influence of these agents on the activity of this preparation as a dehydrogenase.
