'The authors seek to define the genes involved in heavy metal tolerance and sequestration. Two complementary approaches were taken: (1) clone and characterize the genes that complement cadmium hypersensitive mutants of fission yeast, specifically those responsible for production of metal-binding complexes, and (2) isolate genes that can confer cadmium hypertolerance to wild type strains of fission yeast. This work summarizes present status of a 3 year project.
