Abstract
Abstract— A haploid respiration‐deficient (ρ‐) mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibits a lower ability to excise ultraviolet‐induced pyrimidine dimers in various post‐irradiation treatments as compared to the original respiration‐competent wild‐type strain. This decrease in excision may account for the inability of ρ‐ strains to show liquid‐holding recovery.Keywords
