Abstract
The inactivation rate of the resistant mutant was a single exponential down to 10-6 survival. The wild type and sensitive forms showed decreased rates of activation at higher radiation doses and cultures of survivors from different positions of the inactivator plot showed the same radiation sensitivities as the parental cultures. This indicates genetically stable, homogenous, and similar mechanisms for UV sensitivity.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
