Abstract
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
