✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Inorganic ions and primary amines are leaked from anhydrobiotic and quick‐dried nematodes, Aphelenchus avenae, when they are plunged from dry air into water.
Anhydrobiotic nematodes leak about one‐third as fast as quick‐dried ones.
When the water content is increased above about 20% by exposing the animals to moist air before immersing them in water, the leakage rate in both anhydrobiotic and quick‐dried worms is diminished.
The rate of leakage is inversely correlated with the glycerol contents of the worms at the time they are placed in water.

## Abstract The pathway for the synthesis of trehalose in __Aphelenchus avenae__ was demonstrated. As in other systems, the enzymes involved in the synthesis of trehalose of __A. avenae__ were found to be trehalose phosphate synthetase (TPS) and trehalosephosphate phosphatase (TPP).

## Abstract Control of the synthesis of trehalose during the induction of anhydrobiosis was examined. Kinetic parameters for TPS did not change during the induction, indicating that there was no de novo synthesis of an isozyme. TPS activity doubled in the presence of a mixture of Na^+^, K^+^, Mg^++

## Abstract Nematodes, __Aphelenchus avenae__, can be induced to become anhydrobiotic by drying in aggregates (pellets) (>90 mg wet weight) at 97% relative humidity (RH). When the rate of weight loss exceeds 3% hr^−1^ survival is low. The number of animals in a pellet that survive exposure to dry

During induction of anhydrobiosis the nematode Aphelenchus avenue synthesizes large quantities of trehalose and free glycerol t h e carbon for which apparently originates from lipid. In the present paper we show that these worms possess a functional glyoxylate cycle by which lipid is converted to ca
