Abstract excerpt
7-aminocholesterol has been described as being a strong inhibitor of yeast and of Gram+-bacteria proliferation. In order to determine the precise molecular target of the toxicity of this compound, we searched for yeast resistance linked to gene over-expression. We named the new yeast gene that wa...
