EG223 (Cat1∆)	EG103, except cat1:: TRP1

The strains were cultured in YEPD medium (Yeast extract 0.5%, bacto-peptone 2% and dextrose 2%) at 28°C HYPERLINK [51]. Suspended cells were seeded in the center of a Petri dish in a continuous cycle. H2O2 (10 mM) was used as an inducer of oxidative stress and formed the positive control (PC) group. Saline 0.9% and DMSO 0.05% groups are the negative control (NC) groups.
