...Cosima S. Porteus; Christina C. Roggatz; Zelia Velez; Jörg D. Hardege; Peter C. Hubbard ABSTRACT In the past decade, many studies have investigated the effects of low pH/high CO 2 as a proxy for ocean acidification on olfactory-mediated behaviours of marine organisms. The effects of ocean...

... (RBC CA) activity limits the rate of intracellular acidification, yet its role in O 2 delivery has been downplayed. We developed an in vitro assay to manipulate RBC CA activity while measuring Hb-O 2 offloading following a physiologically relevant CO 2 -induced acidification. RBC CA activity in red...

...Kelly D. Hannan; Jodie L. Rummer ABSTRACT Aquatic acidification, caused by elevating levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), is increasing in both freshwater and marine ecosystems worldwide. However, few studies have examined how acidification will affect oxygen (O 2 ) transport...

... still remain unclear. In the present study, we show that future predictions of ocean warming (+4°C) and acidification (ΔpH=0.5 units) may compromise the development of early life stages of a highly commercial teleost fish, Solea senegalensis . Exposure to future conditions caused a decline in hatching...

... the endocytotic pathway that retrieves proteins from the glomerular ultrafiltrate requires V-ATPase-dependent acidification of post-endocytotic vesicles. The regulation of both of these activities depends upon the ability of cells to monitor the pH and/or bicarbonate content of their extracellular environment...

...Joseph A. Covi; W. Dale Treleaven; Steven C. Hand SUMMARY The metabolic downregulation critical for long-term survival of Artemia franciscana embryos under anoxia is mediated, in part, by a progressive intracellular acidification. However, very little is known about the mechanisms responsible...

...Joseph A. Covi; Steven C. Hand SUMMARY Under anoxia, Artemia franciscana embryos downregulate metabolic processes and approach an ametabolic state. Entrance into this quiescent state is accompanied by a profound acidification of the intracellular space, and more than two decades of research now...

... pole of the epithelial cells. This was observed throughout the feeding period of the fifth-instar larva until the onset of spinning. Acidification was prevented completely and reversibly by 0.8 μmol l −1 bafilomycin A 1 , a specific inhibitor of V-ATPase. The presence of V-ATPase in a microsomal...

...Hong Lin; David Randall ABSTRACT Ion transport inhibitors, amiloride, SITS, vanadate and acetazolamide, were added to the water to determine the effect of ion transfer mechanisms on the acidification of water passing over the gills. In neutral water, proton excretion causes a marked reduction...

...Hong Lin; D. J. Randall ABSTRACT Acidification of expired water was studied in rainbow trout exposed to water of pH9.91, 6.80 (control) and 3.88. For the high-pH and the control exposures, the water flowing over the gills was acidified because of the dominant effect of CO 2 hydration. During...
