Toxicity of the environmental carcinogen chromate is known to involve sulfur starvation and also error-prone mRNA translation. Here we reconcile those facts using the yeast model. We demonstrate that: (i) cysteine and methionine starvation mimic Cr-induced translation errors, (ii) genetic

CrO3 is cytotoxic for human epithelial 293 kidney cells over a narrow concentration range of approximately 2-8 microM (D50 approximately 3.0 microM); significantly greater toxicity is observed in clonogenic assays (D50 approximately 0.1-1.0 microM). Survival of a small fraction of

Large volumes of preservative-treated wood containing toxic Cr, Cu and As salts are decommissioned worldwide. This study investigated the effectiveness of solid-state fermentation with copper-tolerant brown-rot fungi for the remediation of wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and acid
