Abstract excerpt
Cellular glutathione (GSH) was implicated in tolerance to potentially toxic metal(loid)s using two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a wild-type (sigma 1278b) and a GSH-deficient mutant strain (gshA-2). Both yeast strains exhibited no significant difference in tolerance to tellurite, zinc, cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel and chromate. There was no marked influence of glutathione on the accumulation of Te,...
