Abstract
The inhibition of respiration of Physarum polycephalum microplasmodia by KCN varies between 30% and 70% of initial rate of O 2 uptake, depending on the time of starvation. The kinetics of the development of cyanide-resistant respiration and its sensitivity toward salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) point out that CN-resistant respiration represents the activity of the alternative pathway of the electron transport. There is no evidence that during starvation the alternative pathway of respiration is active in the absence of cyanide.
