Y. Koulali et al., INFLUENCE OF MONENSIN ON THE COMPOSITION OF THE PLASMALEMMA OF ACHLYA-BISEXUALIS-MALE SEPARATED BY FREE-FLOW ELECTROPHORESIS, Mycological research, 100, 1996, pp. 551-560
The plasmalemma of young hyphae of Achlya bisexualis male cultured wit
h and without monensin was isolated for the first time by free-flow el
ectrophoresis. The membrane fractions were characterized enzymically a
nd by electron microscopy. Monensin was found to lead to a reduction i
n the activities of numerous enzymes, the proportions of sterols and p
roteins, and sterol/phospholipid and protein/lipid ratios.
