rectly, the optimum buffer concentration was approximately 0.05 M phosphate which would correspond to a cation concentration of about 0.1 M. This concentration falls in the vicinity of the optimum cation concentration found by us. However, there is some difference in pH optima found which may be due to their use of a manometric instead of a spectrophotometric method. It appears from the work reported that a combination of a pH of about 6.0 and a cation concentration of the phosphate buffer of about 0.130M is probably the most favorable one for the determination of cytochrome oxidase activity in plant tissues by the spectrophotometric method employed.
