Phenotypic heterogeneity among individual cells within isogenic populations is widely documented, but its consequences are not well understood. Here, cell-to-cell variation in the stress resistance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, particularly to cadmium, was revealed to depend on the antioxidant glutat...
