CONT

Le transporteur de la membrane plasmique [...] initialement mis en évidence pour ces capacités d'import du phosphate, semblerait aussi capable de transporter le manganèse complexé au phosphate lorsque la levure est exposée à de fortes concentrations de manganèse. Ce transporteur de basse affinité pour le manganèse pourrait à son tour être une autre voie d'entrée du cadmium.
