β¦ Synopsis
Catalase has been partially purified from cell-free extracts of methanol-grown Hansenula polymorpha and its peroxidative properties were studied. It was shown that the enzyme is capable of oxidizing methanol, formaldehyde and formate in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The physiological significance of these reactions in the transduction of energy from the oxidation of methanol in yeasts is discussed.

A three part study of the partial oxidation of natural gas or methane to methanol was carried out. In the first part, the effect of reactor wall composition on the homogeneous oxidation of natural gas was determined at a pressure of 30 atm (1 atm= 1.01325. lo5 Pa) and temperatures of 350-400Β°C.
