Copious amounts of ascites

Crustacean zooplankton release copious amounts of dissolved organic matter as taurine in the ocean

Taurine (Tau), an amino acid-like compound, is present in almost all marine metazoans including crustacean zooplankton. It plays an important physiological role in these organisms and is released into the ambient water throughout their life cycle. However, limited information is available on the release rates by marine organisms, the concentrations and turnover of Tau in the ocean. We determine...

Glycolysis of small amounts of glucose by Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells.

Suspensions of about 3 volumes % of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells in 54 mxi phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, were aerobically incu bated. Changes were measured in glucose, ATP,4 and glyeolytic products during the 1st 3 min after addition of as little as 27 ;UM glucose (0.9 fimoles/ml of cells). During the 1st 60 sec, lactic acid, fructose diphosphate, and dihydroxyacetone phosphate almost completely...
