Reported are individual disintegrations per minute of nematodes (coastal Mediterranean Sea) and loriciferans (L'Atalante basin) incubated with (3H)-leucine. Data are means of replicates (n = 3-5) ± standard deviation determined on living specimens (treatment) and Loricifera collected from same anoxic sediments but killed prior to treatment (control). Ind: individuals; DPM: disintegration per minute. |
