โฆ Synopsis
The effect of heavy metal ions (Cu*+, Ni*+) on the electrokinetic properties of S. cerevisiae was investigated by microekctrophoresis. The uptake of metal ions is associated with a change in surface charge on the cell surface. Increasing pH results in the cell surface being more negatively charged. Also, the change in the electrophoretic mobiity in the presence of multi-ions is not simply due to the change in the metal concentration of the solutions, but is also dependent on the metal species involved.

In DELl strains of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the iso-l-cytochrome c (CYC1) region is flanked on either side by Tyl elements in direct orientation which promote cycl deletions of the bracketed DNA in the haploid cell. In this study, we asked which genes might control this event by testing
