The studies described in this thesis were motivated by ongoing efforts to develop lignocellulosic biomass as an efficient and practical source of renewable energy. Enormous problems complicate these efforts to reduce reliance on greenhouse gas-generating fossil fuels. Simply obtaining the fermentable sugars available in the cellulose and hemicellulose components of...
Positively-charged gold nanoparticles (0.8-nm core diameter) reduced yeast
survival, but not growth, at a concentration of 10 to 100 μg/ml. Among 17 resistant
deletion mutants isolated in a genome-wide screen, highly significant enrichment
was observed for respiration-deficient mutants lacking genes encoding proteins
associated with the mitochondrion.
