145. O^ CONSUMPTION: PROTOZOA 



Like our other tables covering oxygen consumption, this one should be used with utmost caution and circumspection. 

 The figures reflect order of magnitude; often a value may not prove accurate for a particular requirement. The 

 table, however, does have special utility as an annotated bibliography. Values, unless otherwise specified, are 

 cubic millimeters oxygen per million cells per hour for mature protozoa. B = bloodstream; C = culture; G = in 

 presence of glucose. 



/I/ cu mm O^ per 1,000 organisms per hr. /2/ Calculated from dry weight. /3/ cu mm O2 per 2 x 108 organisms
