S ummary Glycine and catechol when added separately to both fresh and washed potato‐tuber slices stimulated their oxygen uptake and CO 2 production. Glycine and catechol added together produced an additive stimulation of the respiration of fresh tuber‐slices but gave no stimulation of respiration by washed slices. The inhibitory effect of 3,4‐dichlorophenyl serine on the oxidation of glycine by unwashed slices suggests that this step in the degradation was probably mediated by polyphenol oxidase.
