beta-D-Galactoside transport in Escherichia coli. Reversible inhibition by Aprotic Solvents and its Reconstitution in transport-negative membrane vesicles.
At relatively low concentrations (less than 3M) the aprotic solvents: dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, tetramethylurea and hexamethylphosphoric triamide, inhibited beta-D-galactoside transport by whole cells, and the derived membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli. Inhibition was not due to gross leakiness of the membrane and could be largely reversed  by a simple washing procedure...
