Abstract excerpt

Radiation sensitivity of the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) strains defective in catalase and superoxide dismutase, and of decreased level of glutathione was compared. Small differences in the radiation sensitivity pointed to the highest sensitivity of the wild-type strain as compared with the...
