abstract：:In the present work we analyse some properties of the pso4-1 (= xs9) mutant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is blocked in both reverse mutation and recombination. We have applied the "apparent survival test" as a method to characterize putative inducible error-prone repair activities related to the PSO4 g...
