“…than 8 mg/L. These results are consistent with the conclusion ofZobell and Stadler [1939]. They concluded that rates of water column respiration were not influenced by ambient concentrations of oxygen over the range of concentrations from 0.3 mg/L to 36 mg/L.…”

Ten lakes studied in this investigation and the data presented by previous authors are all consistent with the hypothesis that rates of oxygen depletion in the hypolimnion of lakes do not depend upon the ambient oxygen concentration over the range of concentrations from 12 mg/L to 1.0 mg/L. By definition, aerobic respiration must stop when there is no more oxygen present. Therefore the hypolimnetic oxygen deficit can be modeled as a zero‐order chemical process that is independent of oxygen concentration. Predictions of seasonal changes in hypolimnetic oxygen concentrations can be made by estimating the slope of the linear regression of oxygen concentration against the Julian day when the sample was collected.

“…After the oxygen content is reduced to less than 0.3 ppm., oxygen may be consumed by respiring bacteria on the surface of oxidizable substrates more rapidly than it can be replaced by diffusion, under which conditions the oxygen tension becomes a limiting factor. Using a variety of substrates, ZoBell and Stadler (29) demonstrated that the respiration of water bacteria is independent of oxygen tension within the examined ranges of 0.30 to 36.46 ppm.…”

ALTHOUGH rubber is generally regarded as being relatively inert, it is slowly attacked by certain microorganisms. This first came to the attention of the senior author when, due to a shortage of glass-stoppered bottles, an attempt was made to supplement them with rubber-stoppered bottles for studying the RO.D. of sea water. Almost invariably it was found that more oxygen was consumed by micro-organisms in sea water in the presence of rubber than in its absence. Even the small amount of rubber gasket exposed to the water in citrate of magnesia bottles caused an increase in the amount of oxygen consumed after 5 to 10 days incubation at 25°C. The examination of heat-sterilized and chemically preserved controls indicated that the majority of the increased oxygen consumption was caused by biological activity.An extension of these observations and a precursory review of the literature reveals that various kinds of natural and synthetic rubber are attacked by numerous microbial species representing several genera.

“…The oxygen consumption of deposits containing lower densities of macro-invertebrates was also dependent on the oxygen concentration in higher ranges than those recorded for sludges ( Baity 1938) and lake bacteria ( ZoBell and Stadler 1940).…”
