Abstract excerpt
Recent studies associating dietary selenium with reduced cancer susceptibility have aroused interest in this substance. In the millimolar range, selenite is toxic and slightly mutagenic for yeast. We show that selenite-treated yeast cells tend to arrest as large budded cells and that this arrest...
