Treatment of the yeast Rhodotorula glutinis with AlCl(3) leads to adaptive acquirement of heritable aluminum resistance.

Abstract excerpt

When aluminum (Al) was added to a culture, growth of Rhodotorula glutinis IFO1125 was temporarily arrested, showing longer lag phases, depending on the Al concentrations (50-300 microM) added, but the growth rates were not affected at all. Resistant strains obtained by one round of plate treatment containing Al reverted the resistance level to the wild-type level when cultivated without Al. Repeated Al...
