Table 3 Distribution of mercury in cells of mercury-resistant yeast strains actively growing in 100 µl YM broth amended with HgCl2
From: Mercury removal during growth of mercury tolerant and self-aggregating Yarrowia spp.
Yeast strains | Total mercury in the medium (µg) | Wet weight of cells (mg) | Total mercury bound by cells (µg) | Total mercury bound by cell wall (µg) | Total mercury present in spheroplast (µg) | Total mercury present in nuclei and cell debris (µg) | Total mercury present in mitochondria (µg) |
