The aerobic and anaerobic metabolism of the common cockroach (<i>Periplaneta orientalis</i>). III

Abstract

THE common cockroach (Periplaneta orientalis) has long been known to live for considerable periods in the cdmplete absence of oxygen. It has further been shown [Davis and Slater, 1926] that during such periods of anaerobiosis the insects go into debt for oxygen in a manner closely resembling that observed in man during severe exercise.
