Effect of endosulfan on plasma membrane function of the yeast Rhodotorula gracilis.
The effects of endosulfan on Rhodotorula gracilis cells are varied and concentration-dependent. They are exhibited as increased rate of respiration, retardation in pH-recovering activity of cell suspensions and loss in the rate or D-xylose uptake. The temperature dependence of sugar uptake indicated that endosulfan reacts with some membrane component(s).
