UV-Induced Respiration Loss
| Strains | Survival | Spontaneous Respiration Loss | UV-Induced Respiration Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild-Type | 70.5 | 0.7 | 6.0 |
| rev1-Δ | 1.0 | 1.3 | 1.2 |
| rev3-Δ | 1.6 | 0.5 | < 0.1 |
| rev7-Δ | 1.1 | 1.3 | < 0.1 |
Values for survival and respiration loss are indicated as percents.
Decreases in UV-induced respiration loss of the rev deficient strains are significant as determined by unpaired t-tests (p < 0.00005).
