Toxic metals and metalloids are widespread in nature and can locally reach fairly high
concentrations. To ensure cellular protection and survival in such environments, all …

Survival of microorganisms in natural environments is favored by the capacity to produce
compounds toxic to competing organisms and the ability to resist the effects of such toxic …

Background Pythium ultimum is a ubiquitous oomycete plant pathogen responsible for a
variety of diseases on a broad range of crop and ornamental species. Results The P …

We describe the first complete inventory of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins from a
multicellular organism, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. By the application of several …

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome encodes 15 full-size ATPbinding cassette
transporters (ABC), of whichPDR5, SNQ2, and YOR1 are known to be regulated by the …

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious complication during treatment of opportunistic
fungal infections that frequently afflict immunocompromised individuals, such as transplant …

From each of two AIDS patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis, five Candida albicans
isolates from recurrent episodes of infection which became gradually resistant against …

Exposure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to sorbic acid strongly induces two plasma
membrane proteins, one of which is identified in this study as the ATP‐binding cassette …

Pretreatment of lignocellulose biomass for biofuel production generates inhibitory
compounds that interfere with microbial growth and subsequent fermentation. Remediation …

The complete sequence of the yeast genome predicts the existence of 29 proteins belonging
to the ubiquitous ATP-binding cassette (ABC) super-family. Using binary comparison …
