- Title
Mammalian mitochondria as in vitro monitors of water quality.

- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the use of phosphorylating submitochondrial particles (SMP) as in vitro monitors of aquatic toxicity. It states that the bioassay was prepared by sonic disruption of the heavy fraction of intact bovine heart mitochondria and based on energy-coupled reverse electron transfer (RET) reaction. It says that SMP-based RET test' results can be correlated closely with fish tests.
