Metz and Sjostrand (1954) recorded small amounts of the gas released by guinea pigs and rabbits, probably accounted for by the decomposition of hemoglobin. Wilks (1959) by grinding up alfalfa and putting it in a flask exposed to direct sunlight obtained traces of the gas. Westlake et al. (1961) by exposing moulds to various substrates were able to show that the metabolic pathway, under certain circumstances, may use 1 carbon metabolites. Siegel et al. (1962) found that seedlings under reduced oxygen tension (5% or less) could produce measurable amounts of carbon monoxide. Loewus and Del- wiche (1963) found no carbon monoxide in the floats of the l)rown alga Egregia. |oN 1 1o1q|q| I Figure 1.
