Temperature compensation in an ultradian rhythm of tyrosine aminotransferase activity in Euglena gracilis Klebs.
Tyrosine aminotransferase activity of Euglena oscillates with an ultradian period of approximately 4-5 h. The oscillation frequency in the time series was determined by cosine fitting. Experiments which were performed between 16 and 31.5 degrees C revealed temperature compensation.
