title: Chloride fluxes across Acholeplasma laidlawii membranes.
abstract: Chloride fluxes across the cytoplasmic membrane of Acholeplasma laidlawii were studied by using the chloride sensitive fluorescent dye, 6-methoxy-N-(sulfopropyl)quinolinium. Chloride was found to penetrate the membrane passively. Chloride flux was dependent upon the transmembrane electric potential.
