The thesis investigates the following problems: (1) whether or not there is any correlation between temperature change and respiratory quotient, (2) whether or not respiratory inhibition by cyanides is influenced by temperature, and (3) whether or not the cytochrome-cytochrome oxidase type of respiratory system is concerned chiefly with carbohydrate metabolism in Pelomyxa carolinensis.
