Yeast inhibitive assay for anionic heavy metals: a review

One of the most common types of pollution that has a negative impact on the biotic community in aquatic habitats is heavy metal poisoning of the water. Both essential and non-essential heavy metals can be toxic to living things if their concentrations are too high for their bioavailability. Altho...
