The growth and egg development times of Daphnia longispina from two eutrophic habitats in southern England were studied using similar methods and fully acclimated animals. Habitat differences in both these parameters are demonstrated and are discussed in relation to possible genetical dissimilaritie

β¦ Synopsis
The embryonic and post embryonic development of the cladoceran Daphnia carinata has been studied in the laboratory at two different temperatures (35 and 15Β°C). The duration of embryonic development is inversely proportional to the temperature. The total number of instars increases with the decrease in temperature ; nine at 35Β°C and sixteen at 15Β°C. The average duration of an instar is 29 hrs at 35Β°C and 128 hrs at i3 Β°C . The lower (15Β°C) and the higher (35'C) temperatures restrict egg production .

The effects of temperature on the kinetics of the different cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenases which are present during the life cycle of Ascaris lumbricoides were studied. Aerobic development of the eggs occurs below 32"C, whereas anaerobic energy metabolism in adults occurs at 38-40Β°C. Eggs develop
Zymomonas mobilis, strain ATCC 10988, was used to evaluate the effects of pH (5.0 to 8.0), temperature (30Β°C to 40Β°C), and initial glucose concentration(75 g/C to 150 g/6) on the kinetics of ethanol production from glucose using batch fermentation. Specific ethanol production rate was maximum and ne
