title: DIFFUSION OF OXYGEN IN THE MODIFIED BARCROFT RESPIROMETER IN STUDIES OF ALGAL RESPIRATION(1).
abstract: The diffusion coefficient of oxygen in stirred water in which the surface is unbroken is approximately 0.01 me cm.-(2) min-(1) atm-(1) . Under these conditions, the modified Barcroft respirometer would not give valid results. Hence, it is recommended that this method be abandoned for studies of algal metabolism.
