A novel assay of single-cell exogenous beta-galactosidase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been developed. Intracellular fluorescence due to the hydrolysis of resorufin-beta-D-galactopyranoside attains a steady state between production of resorufin and its subsequent leakage from the cell. The cells are
