Oxygen Uptake and Carbon Dioxide Evolution of Heat-sterilized Soil

Calibration of simultaneous measurements of photosynthetic carbon dioxide uptake and oxygen evolution in leaves.

The stoichiometric ratio of O2 evolution to CO2 uptake during photosynthesis reveals information about reductive metabolism, including the reduction of alternative electron acceptors, such as nitrite and oxaloacetate. Recently we reported that in simultaneous measurements of CO2 uptake and O2 evolution in a sunflower leaf, O2 evolution changed by 7% more than CO2 uptake when light intensity was...

Heat Stroke and Carbon Dioxide

Accuracy of oxygen and carbon dioxide electrodes.

Direct determinations of the oxygen tension (Po2) and carbon dioxide tension (Pco2) of arterial blood are now widely used in the diagnosis and management of diseases of the heart and lungs. Commercial electrode systems, based on the Clark oxygen cell (Clark, 1956), and the Severinghaus Pco2 electrode (Severinghaus and Bradley, 1958) are expensive items, and it is important to know the accuracy ...

Noninvasive monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

New technologies for the noninvasive assessment of oxygen and carbon dioxide are transforming clinical practice. Transcutaneous monitoring of PO2 (PtcO2) and PCO2 (PtCO2) provides an approximation of PaO2 and PaCO2 values in hemodynamically normal individuals, but both PtcO2 and PtcCO2 diverge from the corresponding arterial values when cardiac output is reduced, even in the absence of hypotens...

Oxygen Limitation and Carbon Dioxide Inhibition

The growth of meat-spoiling Pseudomonasfragi 72 was studied on a defined salt medium supplemented with L-aspartate, citrate, creatine, creatinine, D-glucose, L-glutamate, and L-lactate. The utilization of the different carbon sources was followed in batch and continuous culture and under the influence of oxygen limitation and carbon dioxide inhibition (50% CO2 in air). Under nonrestricted atmos...
