Abstract excerpt
Yeast Pichia guilliermondii strains L3 and L2, exposed to UV mutagenesis, produced over 80 mutants capable of growing on media containing 1.5 mM bichromate (Cr(VI)). The mutations making the strains resistant to Cr(VI) were dominant or semidominant. The mutants varied in Cr(VI) resistance, the degree of chromium accumulation in the cells (from 0.1 to 11.6 mg/g dry cells), and the degree of Cr(VI) reduction (from...
