Fig. 5. (A) {Sigma}CO2 uptake rate (µmol g-1 h-1) as a function of CO2 concentration (mmol l-1) by Riftia pachyptila maintained in high-pressure aquaria at pH 5.9. (B) {Sigma}CO2 uptake rate (µmol g-1 h-1) as a function of HCO3 concentration (mmol l-1) by Riftia pachyptila maintained in high-pressure aquaria at pH 6.6. All other substrates were held at `typical' concentrations (see Materials and methods). All rates are expressed in terms of wet mass.
