Abstract
Temperature and phenol, independently and interactively, have a significant influence on oxidative metabolism in Helisoma. Increase of temperature in the absence of phenol causes a diminishing, nonlinear increase in oxygen uptake rate, whereas with phenol concentrations exceeding 2 mg/liter no such increases occur. Concentrations less than 2 mg/liter would undoubtedly also inhibit oxidative metabolism and further study is called for in order to define the exact interactive influence of this compound and temperature on oxygen uptake.
