Abstract excerpt

In this report, three DNA repair-deficient mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (uvs13, uvs14, uvs15) were characterized by using genetic, mutational and biochemical analyses. The mutant strain uvs15 belongs to the most sensitive repair-deficient mutants following exposure to all agents used. It...
