| Abstract: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae which cannot utilize lysine as a sole nitrogen source is shown to metabolize a Lysine 3 Cr3+ (1:1) complex synthesized, as a combined nitrogen and carbon source. It induces rapid uptake of lysine and prevents loss
of viability, in contrast with free lysine. That complexation with trivalent chromium has the effect of profoundly influencing
intracellular distribution and metabolism of the liganded amino acid is demonstrated. |
