Induction of catalase activity correlates with survival of exponentially growing yeast on H2O2 challenge in YPD medium. Total catalase activity (left panels) and cell viability (right panels) of wild-type yeast cells in the YPH250 (A and B, respectively) and BY4741 (C and D, respectively) genetic backgrounds following H2O2 challenge. Exponentially growing cells (12 h, OD600=0.5) in YPD medium were exposed to KPi (control, grey bars) or challenged with 0.2–2 mM H2O2 (green bars) for 1.5 h at 30 °C and 225 rpm. Catalase activity and cell viability were measured as described under Materials and methods and results are the average viability ±SD for three independent cultures (n=3).
