Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa (CCAP), January 1980

Phenotype: UV sensitive

This mutation was induced by Davies in the 137c background, using nitrosoguanidine as mutagen. Small and Greimann found that the uvs1 mutant is blocked in dark excision of thymidine dimers.

This is probably the uvs-1/B isolate of Davies, a minority population of the uvs1 cultures that had a wild-type response to oxygen deprivation, whereas most cells in the population were more sensitive to oxygen deprivation than wild-type cells.
