Detergent-induced changes in the mapping of certain enzymes in various cell types of Rita rita. II. Gill epithelium.
Rita rita were exposed to 6.9 mg/liter (96-hr LC50 of an anionic detergent, dodecylbenzene sodium sulfonate). Loss of activity of certain enzymes responsible for various metabolic processes in fish gill epithelium was observed using a battery of histochemical techniques. The information of this investigation may possibly add to an understanding of the as yet unknown mechanism of detergent action.
