Relationship between Recovery from Sublethal Damage by Dose Fractionation and the Restoration of Viability after Delayed Plating in Diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to clarify the time course of the events of the 2 processes and to examine any interaction between them. The results indicate that the kinetics of the 2 processes show rather marked differences and that the 2 processes themselves are independent; that is, recovery from sublethal damage has no effect on the ability of a cell to recover from subsequently induced lethal damage.
