Abstract excerpt
In order to study the relationship between radioresistance and the adaptive response, we aimed to produce a new strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with characteristics of high radioresistance coupled with a protoplast structure typical for the genus, and the cell-wall-less phenotype to facilitate rapid cell lysis in DNA double-strand break (DSB) assays. The adaptive response of the new strain was investigated...
