Peroxidase activity was detected in Bacillus cereus when the catalase activity has been inhibited by 1mM sodium azide. The peroxidase level was high in late stationary-phase cells just before the accumulation of dipicolinic acid. Ultracytochemical examination indicated that peroxidase was localized in the envelope around the forespore and in the transverse membrane of the cell.
