«While we do see some evidence of elevated
oxygen consumption rates in situ for two out of the three species sampled during the last deployment, the sample numbers are too low to jump to any conclusions,» he says.
The researchers analysed resting and active
jumping oxygen consumption rates in snails exposed to seawater at the normal temperature of 29 °C and at the increased temperature of 34 °C, projected to be reached during the next 100 years due to global warming.
Using oxygen sensors on more than 100 profiling floats distributed globally, scientists have assessed, for the first time,
oxygen consumption rates in the mesopelagic zone beneath the ocean's surface, where too little sunlight penetrates to support photosynthesis, and the carbon export that fuels this respiration [Hennon et al., 2016].
Quality control assessment in cell culture and primary cells including functional assessments (
oxygen consumption rate, perifusion assays, bioassays, etc..)
They can work hard, about as hard as the others, and follow the same protocol yet experience almost no improvement to
their oxygen consumption rates.
