Abstract

Authors examined the effect of substances influencing the gill tissue respiration in Unio tumidus (KCl, CdCl₂, L-cysteine) and of temperature. It has been established that 1 . With growing temperature the tissue respiration follows Van’t Hoff’s law. 2 . KCl up to a concentration of 5·10⁻⁴ to 5·10⁻³ M does not significantly influence the values of tissue respiration. 3. CdCl₂ above the 10⁻³ M concentration significantly inhibits respiration. 4. L-cysteine substantially increases respiration. 5. Respiration blocked by 1 0 _2M CdCl2 can be reactivated by a double amount of (2·10⁻² M) L-cysteine.
