Abstract
Although gastrula explants (Rana pipiens, R temporaria) excrete traces of ammonia both aerobically and anaerobically, these are so small (unless the explants are cytolyzed) as to be beyond the effective range of available quantitative methods of ammonia detn. Contrary to existing claims (here explained by reference to the effects of cytolysis) no quantitative statement about relative rates of ammonia excretion by different gastrula-parts has thus far been experimentally justified.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
