Abstract excerpt
It has been found that yeast mutants deficient in cytosolic superoxide dismutase CuZnSOD are hypersensitive to ferrous iron. In contrast mutants that are deficient in catalases and cytochrome c peroxidase do not differ from the standard strain in this respect. These findings suggest that iron tox...
