— Diploid yeast cells exposed to UV‐light of different wavelengths in the region between 254 and 313 nm were assessed for their ability of delayed plating recovery. They were either held in non‐nutrient suspension (‘liquid holding’) or on non‐nutrient agar before final plating. Thus it was possible to distinguish between real and apparent recovery due to cell multiplication. The experiments showed that no delayed plating recovery was found beyond 295 nm wavelength UV.
