title: COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON RESPIRATION : X. TOXIC AND ANTAGONISTIC EFFECTS OF MAGNESIUM IN RELATION TO THE RESPIRATION OF BACILLUS SUBTILIS.
abstract: 1. Concentrations of MgCl(2) up to 0.01 M have little effect upon the rate or respiration of Bacillus subtilis; at 0.03 M there is an increase in the rate, while in the higher concentrations there is a gradual decrease. 2. There is a well marked antagonism between MgCl(2) and NaCl, and a very slight antagonism between MgCl(2) and CaCl(2).
