Effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1242) on the ultrastructure of certain planktonic algae
Journal Article
·
· Bot. Gaz. (Chicago); (United States)
Species of freshwater algae sensitive and resistant to polychlorinated biphenyls were examined by transmission electron microscopy after treatment. In all treated sensitive species, disruption of internal chloroplast membranes and failure of cytokinesis were the major changes observed. All control and resistant species showed well-preserved internal structures and regular cytokinesis.
