| Abstract: | Standard autoradiographic techniques were adapted to study the transport of carbon compounds in colonies of Membranipora membranacea (L.). The results indicate that there is transport of carbon-14 between polypides within a colony. Metabolite movement is generally in the direction of the rapidly growing colony edge. Estimates of metabolite transport rates are given. |
