The ability of cysts of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina, to incorporate WO, into organic compounds soluble in cold-trichloroacetic acid was examined over a broad range of cellular water concentrations. Carbon dioxide was not incorporated by cysts containing less than about 0.3 g HzO/g dried cysts,

## Abstract The concentration of total ninhydrinβpositive material (NPM) soluble in 5% trichloroacetic acid was measured in cysts of the brine shrimp, __Artemia salina__, as a function of hydration level. No net change in NPM was observed until the cysts had achieved a water content of about 0.65 g
## Abstract Using ^14^CO~2~ as a labelled precursor the relationship between the initiation of protein and RNA synthesis, and water concentration, has been examined in cysts (encysted embryos) of the brine shrimp, __Artemia salina__. Although incorporation of radioactivity into amino acids and nucl
## Abstract The concentration of ATP in cysts of the brine shrimp, __Artemia salina__, has been studied as a function of cyst hydration. Cysts dried over CaSO~4~ contain 0.02 gH~2~O/g cysts and 0.54 Β± 0.05 (S.D.) mΜmoles of ATP/g dried cysts. Addition of water up to 0.05 g/g cysts produced no net c
