Abstract

The bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has gathered considerable attention. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the simplest and convenient to cultivate under standard laboratory conditions, making it an ideal organism for studying the uptake and transport mechanisms of various heavy metals. This study investigates the differential bioaccumulation tendencies of Cu2+,Cd2+,Cr3+ and Zn2+ by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The comparative analysis involves exposing S.cerevisiae cultures to synthetic growth medium containing each metal ion separately in varying concentrations, followed by measuring dry mass and accumulation levels within the cells and then compared with alterations in cellular protein content. The findings shed light on the metal-specific accumulation patterns and provide insights into the potential applications of S. cerevisiae in bioremediation processes targeting heavy metal pollutants.
