Some Factors Governing Respiration, Glucose Metabolism and Iodoacetate Sensitivity in Tetrahymena pyriformis*

摘要: SYNOPSIS. The physiologic response of Tetrahymena pyriformis W to glucose, as measured by the respiratory rate in a buffered suspension, was found be altered exposure culture this carbohydrate peptone-based growth medium. Glucose-grown cells had an elevated presence glucose Tris-buffered while not grown with supplement required sodium and potassium for response. Orthophosphate oxygen consumption independently effect. endogenous non-glucose cultured were significantly diffe 2 types responded differently cations, sod potassium, identical sensitivity iodoacet Iodoacetate poisoning due inhibition “uncompetitive” type, potentiated orthophosphate, absence potassium.
