Abstract: 
The in vivo influence of Cd, Zn, Pb and Hg on the activities of intracellular enzymes in S. cerevisiae was studied. Cd and Pb cause a significant increase of the enzyme activities. Zn and Hg do not affect the enzyme activities, but they intensify considerably the effects of Cd and Pb. A reduction of enzyme activities is found only rarely. Interactions between the heavy metals tested can lead to synergism or to antagonism or rather to an addition of the effects. Under in vivo conditions, heavy metals may show only an indirect influence on intracellular enzymes.
