Abstract excerpt
Yeasts lacking copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (sod1Delta) exhibit a broad range of phenotypes, many of which can be rescued by growth in the presence of high levels of ionic manganese. We undertook a comprehensive survey of the effects of manganese on wild-type and sod1Delta yeasts and found that 5 mM Mn2+ rescued all known growth-related phenotypes, such as slow growth in air, temperature sensitivity, specific...
