This proposal requests funds for the purchase of an open-flow                   microcalorimetry-respirometry system.  This instrumentation will                enable analytical capabilities not presently available and will                 foster the expansion and enhancement of existing programs                       directed by five primary and three secondary users.  It will                    support research on (l) mechanistic analyses of hypometabolic                   states in invertebrates, (2) regulation of glucoeogenesis in                    skeletal muscle, (3) metabolic adaptations of planktonic                        invertebrates, (4) physiological basis for flood-tolerance among                congeneric plant species, and (5) nitrophenol-based metabolism of               soil microbes.  In addition to quantifying total metabolic rates                of the respective tissues/organisms, the microcalorimetry-                      respirometry system will allow anaerobic components, monitoring                 of metabolic compensation during entry and exist from stressful                 environmental conditions, and analysis of the relative                          contributions of different substrates to total metabolic rate.
