Abstract
Summary
(1) Cyanide, azide, phenyl urethane, and ethyl urethane can slow or stop reconstitution in Tubularia; methylene blue does not alter the effect of cyanide. (2) Cyanide strongly inhibits oxygen consumption in the concentrations which affect reconstitution, but it does not suppress oxygen consumption entirely. (3) Azide and the urethanes do not have a marked effect on oxygen consumption in the concentrations in which they strongly decrease reconstitution. (4) These findings are compatible with the fact that oxygen tension influences the rate of both reconstitution and respiration.
