Dark respiration

ID: 133

Class: Physiological

Description:

The rate of oxygen consumption measured in the darkness per unit of skeletal surface area. Values may include both light enhanced dark respiration and dark acclimated dark respiration.

Standards:

• Rate (µmol O2 cm^-2 h^-1) default
• Rate (µg O2 g^-1 wet colony weight h^-1)
• Rate (µg C g^-1 dry colony weight d^-1)
• Rate (mg O2 g^-1 wet colony weight h^-1)
• Rate (mg C g^-1 dry colony weight d^-1)

Methodologies:

• Dark/light bottle method (Sorokin, 1984)
• Oxygen consumption in chambers in the dark
• Oxygen consumption in dark stirring chamber normalized to surface area by foil
• Oxygen consumption in the dark in small flume
