EFFECT OF BACTERIA ON RADIOPHOSPHORUS METABOLISM IN YEARLING SALMON, SALMO SALAR L.
The effect of bacteria on radiophosphorus and its metabolism in organic and inorganic forms was studied in yearling salmon, Salmo salar L. The fish absorbed 39.6% of P 32 from aquaria to which the antibiotic tetracycline was added because bacteria were inactivated and the added P 32 remained in inor...
