We examined 40 strains of Legionella for reduced-oxygen scavenging enzymes. Using a simple reaction chamber with a Swinney filter for the Beers and Sizer assay, we determined the catalase activity of live cells grown on buffered charcoal-yeast extract agar. For 29 strains of Legionella pneumophila, the apparent first-order rate constants for catalase ranged from 0.000 to 0.005. Similarly, low values ranging from 0.001 to 0.005 were observed for Legionella wadsworthii, Legionella oakridgensis, and Legionella gormanii. High catalase activities were found for Legionella jordanis, Legionella longbeachae, Legionella micdadei, and Legionella bozemanii, with first-order rate constant values of 0.010 to 0.035. Cell-free extracts were analyzed for catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase. Cell-free extracts of all strains had superoxide dismutase levels ranging from 8.2 to 30.5 U per mg of protein. The species could be characterized by their catalase and peroxidase since L. pneumophila and L. gormanii had only peroxidase (relative molecular weight [Mr], 150,000); L. dumoffii had a peroxidase (Mr, 150,000) plus a catalase (Mr, 174,000); and all remaining species had catalase only (Mr, 300,000, 220,000, or 150,000).
