In rhizomes of the Bulrush [Schoenoplectus lacustris (L.) Palla] it was shown that O2 consumption and activity of the enzymes cytochrome oxidase, ADH, and LDH are able to adapt to changing levels of O2. When gassed with pure N2, an increase in fermentation of approximately 2½ times the original value was recorded after 3 days. Under the same conditions an initial drop in energy charge was noted, but after 3 days a subsequent increase to 0,75 took place. This last indicates that an equilibrium between ATP-producing and ATP-consuming processes has been reached, comparable to that in rhizomes with sufficient O2 supply. The adaptational processes which occur, can be detected after 3 days and are reversible.
