Impact of volitile aromatic hydrocarbons on algal plasma membranes /

components are volatile aromatic hydrocarbons (VAH). However, mechanisms of toxicity at the molecular level are not clear. Plasma membrane composition and physical state are critically important to any cell. Living cells maintain constant membrane fluidity (homeoviscous adaptation) by adjusting memb...
