Determination of cells' water membrane permeability: unexpected high osmotic permeability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

abstract：:A whole cell-based optical sensing system for copper was developed based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells harboring plasmid pYEX-GFPuv. The basis of this system was the ability of the transcriptional activator protein Ace1 present in S. cerevisiae to control the expression of the reporter protein, GFPuv. When copper ...
