Abstract:
Glutathione overproducers were detected by examining the pigmentation intensity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae met30 yeast carrying wild-type alleles for ADE1 and ADE2. Highly pigmented colonies, phenocopies of the ade2 or ade1 mutants, were observed among yeast grown in minimal biotin-free medium with a high methionine content.
