One-day ocular safety study of HPMC-coated catalase tablets (Micrococcus) with indicator No. 8643X in albino rabbits
This question is not for the translation of the word (细球菌). Who can tell me why they put the microorganism belind the tablets? Does it mean the catalase is extracted from Micrococcus? Thank You!
