Low phosphate mitigates cadmium-induced oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by enhancing endogenous antioxidant defence system

As the first author, Kittikhun Kerdsomboon led a study examining how phosphate availability influences cadmium-induced oxidative stress in the model eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The research demonstrated that low-phosphate conditions enhance the cell’s endogenous antioxidant defense system, particularly through the upregulation of manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and catalase, resulting in reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation […]
