Abstract excerpt
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) lacking the enzyme CuZn-superoxide dismutase (sod1delta) display a large number of dioxygen sensitive phenotypes, such as amino acid auxotrophies, sensitivity to elevated temperatures, and sensitivity to 100% dioxygen, which are attributed to superoxide stress. Su...
