Abstract excerpt
The one-gene mutant hyd1-190 of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe displayed four-fold resistance to tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) in comparison with its parental strain hyd(+). The cells of hyd1-190 exhibited a quantitative alteration in the sterol content and hence in the fatty acid composition of the plasma membrane, reflected in a two-fold amphotericin B sensitivity, increased rigidity of the...
