Abstract excerpt
The baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as a model to visualize intracellular labile zinc under conditions of nutritional zinc imbalance. Zinc-specific staining was performed in yeast cells using both Zinquin fluorescence and zinc-selenium autometallography. Both techniques resulted in specific labeling of an intracellular vesicular compartment that was present in wild type cells as well as in the...
