Abstract
Iodine uptake by Ascophyllum was related to the respiratory process on the basis of the following expts.: the uptake of radioactive iodine was stimulated by glucose and sucrose and was inhibited by iodoacetic acid, azide and cyanide. These substances and, in addition, malic and succinic acids and fluoride in turn influenced respiration of the segments, suggesting that they function as respiratory intermediates and inhibitors in the sp. Maintaining the segments in N decreased their radioactive iodine uptake.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
