ABSTRACT:
Novel dividing cells of the yeast Saccharomyces. A first portion of dividing yeast cells is transformed with DNA encoding superoxide dismutase protein and DNA encoding catalase protein, and a second portion of yeast cells is not transformed with DNA grown at the same cell density as the first portion. When both portions of cells are heated in the presence of oxygen containing gas to a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and are maintained at such temperature for 20 minutes, at least twice as many cells of the first portion of cells survive.
