Abstract

Yeast Pichia guilliermondii strains L3 and L2, exposed to UV mutagenesis, produced over 80 mutants capable of growing on media containing 1.5 mM bichromate (Cr(VI)). The mutations making the strains resistant to Cr(VI) were dominant or semidominant. The mutants varied in Cr(VI) resistance, the degree of chromium accumulation in the cells (from 0.1 to 11.6 mg/g dry cells), and the degree of Cr(VI) reduction (from 50% to complete disappearance of bichromate from the culture liquid). Chromium accumulation in mutant cells depended on medium composition, Cr(VI) concentration, and the time of exposure to Cr(VI). The resistance to bichromate can be caused by various reasons: decrease in chromium absorption, altered ability to reduce Cr(VI), or damage of sulfate transport mechanisms.
