Abstract

Chemostat-grown cells of the chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta (Butcher) exposed to triphenyltin were examined using transmission electron microscopy. Following a 1-h exposure to 21 and 84 μM triphenyltin, mitochondria underwent structural damage and the thylakoid membranes of a small proportion of cells spread from the usual compact arrangement. Prolonging the exposure time resulted in significant cell lysis in cultures exposed to 84 μM triphenyltin.
