title: The effect of temperature on copper tolerance of Paramecium.
abstract: The copper tolerance of paramecium tetraurelia decreases with increased temperatures over the range of 12 C to 34 C. The relationship is linear and the correlation = - 0.98. The regression equation has an intercept of 16 micro M Cu++ at O C, and tolerance is reduced by 0.33 micro M for each degree increase in temperature.
