Abstract excerpt

A mutant, uvs-(SA3B), which shows high sensitivity to UV light segregated among the progeny in a back-cross of a presumptive MMS-sensitive mutant to a wild-type strain. At 37% survival, this mutant was approximately 5 times more sensitive to UV and also 6 times more sensitive to 4-NQO than the wi...
