title: Detergent-induced changes in the mapping of certain enzymes in various cell types of Rita rita. I. Opercular epidermis.
abstract: The different cell types in the opercular epidermis of Rita rita when exposed to a synthetic detergent, dodecylbenzene sodium sulfonate in the concentration of 6.9 mg liter-1 (96-hr LC50 of the detergent), had a gradual decrease in the activity of various enzymes responsible for different metabolic processes occurring inside the cell. After a certain period of detergent exposure, the activities of all the enzymes in these cells are completely inhibited.
