Fig. 6. Aerobic and anaerobic ATP turnover rates
(
ATP) at 32°C in North
Sea and White Sea Littorina saxatilis acclimated at 13°C and
4°C. The rate of ATP turnover during anaerobiosis (amount of ATP consumed
per g wet mass per hour) was calculated from end product accumulation and ATP
and phospho-L-arginine (PLA) depletion as described in the text, assuming an
ATP equivalent of 2.75 µmol per µmol of succinate. The aerobic ATP
turnover rate was calculated from routine oxygen consumption rates, assuming
that 6 mol ATP produced 1 mol O2.
