Abstract After onset of anaerobic conditions Arenicola Marina does not switch immediately to typical anaerobiosis. The adaptation occurs in three steps. 1. 1. In the first 3 hr the phosphagen stores are mobilized, glycogen is degraded to alanine, aspartate is metabolized to succinate and volatile fatty acids ( transition period ). 2. 2. Starting approximately after 3 hr, the route of glycogen degradation at the phosphoenolpyruvate-branchpoint is changed gradually from metabolizing via pyruvate… CONTINUE READING
