Exposure to visible light of growth medium containing riboflavin and indole at low concentrations created photoproducts highly toxic to Salmonella typhimurium and other bacteria. No toxicity was detected in the dark or when either of these two components was present singly. Other aromatic compounds (serotonin, indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-propionic acid, tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and p-aminobenzoic acid) tested in place of indole produced various degrees of toxicity. The presence of MnCl2 significantly enhanced the toxicity. Addition of catalase eliminated the toxicity, indicating an important role for hydrogen peroxide.

A hydrogen peroxide-peroxidase system is essential to the enzymic oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid. Catalase and colloidal platinum inhibited strongly such oxidation, and extremely low concentrations of guaiacol competed with the LA.A. for the LA.A. oxidase.

Contrary to indole-3-acetic acid, indole-1-acetic acid (I1AA) may be destroyed by horseradish isoperoxydase ‘c’ (HRPc) only in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. This peroxidative reaction depends on the enzyme and H2O2 concentrations and on the medium acidity. By calculation of the binding equilibrium constant of the HRPc–I1AA complex for different pH, it appears that enzyme affinity for this substrate is higher for the more acidic tested pH.

Photolytic oxidation of aliphatic acids with aqueous H2O2 has been studied. Formic acid gives CO2 and H2O. Acetic acid gives products containing CO2, methane, formic, glycolic, and tartaric acids. Propionic acid gives CO2, methane, ethane, acetic, formic, lactic, β-hydroxypropionic, malonic, and glycolic acids. A mechanism involving an initial H-atom abstraction by HO•formed via photo-dissociation of H2O2 is postulated and discussed.
