SYNOPSIS. During encystment of Colpoda cucullus (O. F. Müller) the respiratory rate decreases from about 11.3 × 10-5μl. O2/hr. (mean value for active form) to about 1.3 × 10-5μl./hr. (mean for unstable cyst); the process takes about 24 hrs. At the same time the activity of the contractile vacuole is stopped, but there is no correlation in time between the two processes: when respiration is inhibited by 1/2–2/3 the vacuolar activity is hardly changed. The respiration of unstable cysts remains approximately constant at least for 4 weeks. Experiments with methylene blue suggest that inhibition of respiration at encystment may be due to inhibition of terminal oxidase.
