Abstract excerpt
A Candida glabrata cadmium-sensitive mutant partially defective in glutathione production and exhibiting a complete absence of phytochelatins was used to clone a gene required for Cd tolerance. Transformation of the Cd-sensitive mutant with a genomic library from the wild-type C. glabrata led to the cloning of a gene that restored Cd tolerance and formation of Cd-glutathione and Cd-phytochelatin complexes. The...
