Abstract
The transport, accumulation, and distribution of selenium in Candida y east cells were investigated. The cellular content of selenium was fou nd to be determined by both its competitive relationship with sulfur a nd the sensitivity of the yeasts to the products of selenium metabolis m. At least 80% of the cellular selenium was shown to be incorporated into selenium-containing amino acids.
