In situ light and dark planktonic and benthal respirometers were
used to measure the oxygen requirements of Yaquina estuary water
and benthal deposits. Respirometer devices were constructed so that

Current evidence suggests that temporal regulation of gene
expression in eucaryotic organisms relies primarily upon localized
structural modifications of chromatin. One possible means of
changing chromatin structure is through varying the level of
acetylation of the histone proteins. Sodium butyrate has been found
to inhibit the activity of histone deacetylase...
