Spot Test analysis. Equal numbers of wild type or mutant yeast cells were spotted on media with or without 400 ug/ml of cobalt. The relative numbers of yeast cells spotted on the plates are indicated. In relation to wild type, the mutant strain did not produce as many colonies in the presence of cobalt. This suggests sensitivity to cobalt for the mutant cells. W/T is the wild type (normal) strain; Mut is the gene deletion mutant strain for the rox1 gene.
