Abstract

1. 1. Thin-later chromatographic evidence shows succinic acid as an anaerobic end-product of glycolysis in the gills of Modiolus demissus and Mytilus edulis. 2. 2. Sodium succinate stimulates oxygen consumption in intact gill pieces and in gill homogenates of both species. 3. 3. The stimulation of oxygen consumption by succinate in gill homogenates of both species is inhibited by sodium malonate. 4. 4. Oxygen consumption in gill homogenates of Modiolus, but not Mytilus, is stimulated following anaerobic incubation of intact gills, and this stimulation is blocked by malonate.
