摘要: ABSTRACT The uptake of tritium labelled proline from the ambiant water by marine sponge Chondrosia reniformis was studied electron microscope radioautography. dissolved amino acid very fastly incorporated into symbiotic bacteria in sponge, and more slowly cells. ability to use organic carbon may be important sponges with low levels particulate carbon.
