Table 5. sli15-20A and sli15-20D show elevated rates of chromosome loss.
Strain | Red colonies | Half-sectored colonies | Total colonies | Chromosome loss rate per cell division (× 103)a | Fold increase |
wt | 17 | 6 | 4160 | 1.45 | - |
sli15-20A | 48 | 55 | 4140 | 13.4 | 9.3 |
sli15-20D | 114 | 75 | 5088 | 15.1 | 10.4 |
Calculated as [half-sectored]÷([total]−[red]).
