Interactions of organic pollutants with gills of the bivalve molluscs Anodonta californiensis and Mytilus californianus: uptake and effect on membrane fluxes. II.
1. The uptakes of 2,4,5-T, glyphosate, parathion, paranitrophenol, naphthalene, glycine, and inulin by gills of the bivalve molluscs Anodonta californiensis (freshwater) and Mytilus californianus (marine) show non-polar compounds are taken up to a greater extent than polar compounds except where active transport occurs. 2. The uptake of glycine by M. californianus is reduced by pollutants containing complexing functional groups but not by non-polar compounds. 3. The uptake of parathion alters the polyphosphate-inorganic phosphate balance in M. californianus. 4. The uptakes of pollutants parallel their toxicities toward rats.
